Ex-offenders have complex needs and often challenging histories and futures. Many have multiple barriers from employment including low skills, low literacy, spotty work history as well as behavioural issues and often separated from family and friends. Compounding these barriers is a wide spread reluctance of employers to hire individuals with criminal records. We specialise in working with ex-offenders who suffer from personality disorders and enduring mental health illnesses. We work with the individual concerned, and our partners in the statutory, voluntary and community sectors, to give ex-offenders re-entry routes back to living independently.
