Preventing Re-offending Project (PRP)
John and child
The PRP offers one-to-one mentoring for offenders serving sentences of twelve months or less. Key Support Workers provide a bespoke offender intervention service to address issues identified as contributory factors towards re-offending. These include accommodation, lack of aspirations, family breakdown, mental and physical health, alcohol and drugs, children and families, attitude and Behaviour and lack of skills and employment.
Key Support Workers assist the offender towards a position whereby they can hopefully secure and sustain employment, thus reducing re-offending in the community, the number of victims of crime and the financial burden on the economy. The project has been tremendously successful and is very proud to report a reoffending rate of 17% for our client group, in comparison to the national average of 60%.
