<p>We are delivering on our commitments in the recent Prisons Strategy White Paper
to improve employment outcomes for prison leavers:</p><ol><li>Creating a presumption
in favour of enabling vetted and appropriate inmates, and offenders released on licence,
to take up work opportunities;</li><li>Introducing new Resettlement Passports, bringing
together all of the essentials that prison leavers need to lead crime-free lives on
release into one place, such as ID that demonstrates a prisoner’s right to work and
a bank account;</li><li>Putting a dedicated Employment Advisor in every resettlement
prison;</li><li>Developing a digital candidate matching system to match prisoners
to roles on release;</li><li>Establishing Employment Hubs, a ‘job-centre in a prison’
where prisoners can get support and find opportunities;</li><li>Establishing Employment
Boards, which link prisons with local business networks to provide advice and challenge
so that prisons deliver the skills that employers need.</li></ol>
