Working in Partnership with Prospects

NOMS ESF Co-Financing

Section 1

Prospects has been shortlisted as one of five organisations to bid for the delivery of the National Offender Management Service European Social Fund (NOMS ESF) co-financing programme in the south west of England (excluding Cornwall). This is the third round of NOMS ESF co- financing provision.

The Service will be delivered by the successful bidder between April 2015 and December 2020. The final Invitation to Tender will be published at the end of November 2014. A NOMS ESF co- financing website can be found on the following link http://www.co-financing.org/

The focus of this NOMS co-financing round is supporting the hardest to help offenders engage with mainstream service provision and employment. In addition to the key ESF groups the Service will also focus on specific offender sub groups in the south west including:

 Offenders facing reintegration after a long sentence  Dual diagnosis offenders (drugs misuse and mental health issues)  Females exploited by the sex industry  Offenders with dependent families (particularly 18-24 year olds)  Offenders who have been through the care system.

NOMS have stated that the delivery will be 70% in custody and 30% in the community. They have identified the following prisons which will be involved in this programme round: Channings Wood, Dartmoor, Eastwood Park (female prison), Guys Marsh, Leyhill and Portland (adult and young offenders). This list of participating prisons is subject to NOMS final confirmation.

Central to the delivery of the service will be a case manager model and close work with the National Probation Service, Community Rehabilitation Companies and offender managers in custody to ensure alignment. Additional delivery mechanisms will include mentoring and links/development of social enterprise models and the provision of support to access accommodation services, family services, offender health and learning and skills provision.

NOMS have set out a single participant pathway model for the Service which includes beneficiaries accessing the following sequenced activities and support:

 Enrolment of service users and the development of an action plan  Supportive measures which include referrals to drugs, alcohol, housing or health support; work tasters or mentoring  Short courses  Vocational education and training  Employment.

Key to the Service will be the addition of value to, and non-duplication of, mainstream provision alongside the effective targeting of the hardest to help beneficiaries.

Prospects is always pleased to hear from organisations who are interested in working in partnership with us on our programmes. We are particularly looking for organisations who deliver the following services in either or both custody and/or the community:

1) Support for money management, self employment or accommodation.
