star this property answer text <p>Nobody should be released from prison without a roof over their head. We know that individuals are less likely to reoffend if they have a stable home to go to upon release. That is why the Government has launched a £100 million initiative to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping across England. Through this work we will invest £6.4 million over two years in a pilot to support individuals who have served 12 months or less in custody, and who are at risk of being released as homeless, to secure and maintain accommodation.</p><p>Since 1 October, Prisons and Probation providers have been subject to a legal ‘Duty to Refer’ anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to the Local Authority. <br>This change means that offenders will receive meaningful housing assistance at an earlier stage, irrespective of their priority need.</p><p>We also know that the support, provided by probation providers, to prepare individuals for release from prison is not meeting the standard we require. We have therefore taken decisive action to stabilise and improve the delivery of probation services. We are ending current Community Rehabilitation Company contracts early, while investing £22m per year to enhance the services that support individuals leaving prison and re-entering the community. We have introduced minimum standards so that all providers offer monthly face-to-face meetings with offenders during the first 12 months of supervision. This new service will commence from April 2019.</p>

They include:<ul><li>investing in over 4,300 additional staff in order to deliver consistent, purposeful regimes;</li><li>improving staff knowledge and understanding of the factors known to increase risk of self-harm, to help them to identify and respond appropriately to prisoners at risk. Our revised introduction to suicide and self-harm prevention training has already reached over 24,000 staff;</li><li>improving the flow, quality and use of risk information about people coming into our prisons, to support effective decision-making about risk;</li><li>producing an early days toolkit to help staff enhance the support that they provide for prisoners during the first few days and weeks in custody;</li><li>renewing our partnership with Samaritans by confirming a further three years’ funding for their valuable Listeners Scheme, and working with them to share learning from the ‘Coping with Life in Prisons’ project, a successful pilot initiative in which Samaritans-trained ex-prisoners delivered emotional resilience training to groups of newly-arrived prisoners; and</li><li>improving the multi-disciplinary ACCT case management process for those identified as at risk of self-harm or suicide.</li></ul></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
