About the CPD course
Prisoners and their families face massive challenges both before and after spending time in prison when it comes to welfare benefits and support with housing. 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.
