There has been growing recognition within the Prison and
Probation Services of the importance of the voluntary sector and
community organisations and the range of services they can provide
for offenders, ex-offenders and their families.
Voluntary Organisations and Community Groups bring valuable
local knowledge, expertise, specialist skills and a fresh and
innovative approach to working with offenders. This work not only
benefits the offender and his or her family, but also the prison
and probation services and our communities and society as a
whole.
These resources are provided by the
Supporting Work
with Offenders Project, based at NAVCA and supported by
Clinks. The Project is
designed to offer local support and development organisations the
information and resources required to enable them to effectively
support frontline organisations who work with offenders,
ex-offenders and their families.
