star this property answer text <p>We remain committed in increasing the number of prison leavers securing employment on release. The proportion of prison leavers who were employed six months after release more than doubled in the two years to March 2023, from 14% to over 30%. Meanwhile, the proportion who were in employment six weeks after their release almost doubled in the same period, from 9.8% to 19.4%</p><p>We know that supporting businesses and raising awareness around the benefits of employing prison leavers are integral in continuing this upward trend.</p><p>New Futures Network is the prison service’s specialist employment team that supports businesses to fill skills gaps and prisoners to find employment on release. They use a dedicated website and social media pages to inform the public, including employers, about the opportunities to recruit from prisons. New Futures Network brokers three main types of partnership between prisons and employers:</p><ul><li>Prison industries and academies: Workspaces set up by businesses, staffed by prisoners.</li><li>Release on Temporary Licence: Paid work placements in the community for risk-assessed serving prisoners.</li><li>Employment on release: When employers offer opportunities to individuals following their release from prison.</li></ul><p>To increase awareness across sectors facing labour market shortages, in October 2022 New Futures Network began running a series of ‘Unlocking Potential’ recruitment drives in prisons. The most recent event in October 2023, Unlocking Hospitality, saw around 65 events held across 40 sites, attended by 40 employers and 885 prisoners. This resulted in 184 interviews and 45 job offers to date.</p><p>We also know that employers want to hear from other employers when talking about the benefits of employing prison leavers. Employment Advisory Boards bring together experienced professionals across the private and third sectors and have been established across 93 prisons. Chaired by business leaders, these are a forum to collaborate with leadership teams within prisons, to support them in creating a positive culture of employment.</p><p>Similarly, we continue to work with the Employers Forum for Reducing Re-offending (EFFRR), an HMPPS-led group currently chaired by Greggs. This is a collective of local and national employers that provide training and employment opportunities for ex-offenders, including Greene King, Timpson, Marks &amp; Spencer, Willmott Dixon and many more.</p><p>New Futures Network have also partnered with the Department for Education to raise awareness by featuring an employing prison leavers item on their business webpages: <a href="https://find-employer-schemes.education.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Find training and employment schemes for your business (education.gov.uk)</a>.</p>
