Career guidance: Joining up services for prisoners

Abstract

This article is based on Equal funded work carried out by NICEC Fellows Jackie Sadler and Leigh Henderson in three prisons in the East of England, where IAG in custody is provided by Tribal, and one in the South West supported by a Tribal Area (now Regional) Manager, Cheryl Westbury. It seeks to draw out some of the challenges of providing information, advice and guidance in prison and the development work carried out under the Equal project and subsequent experience. The project was managed by Tribal under Equal funding initially and subsequently as part of the LSC East of England Test Bed programme.
