Many prisoners are released into homelessness and struggle to navigate the system which increases the likelihood of reoffending by over 50%. This in-depth course looks at the barriers prisoners with different types of sentences may face; the effect on benefits and housing and how to support both them and their families. Through a combination of real-life case studies; interactive quizzes and experienced trainers you will learn best practice in supporting prisoners through today’s challenging system.
