Follow @connectmycareer
Operational delivery will commence on August 1, 2024.
Together in partnership with The Growth Company, we will deliver services to help offenders move toward mainstream provision or activity which reinforces the value of leading law-abiding lives.
This includes supporting participants with entering employment, education and training and interacting positively with their local community. CFO Evolution is not a standalone programme but is designed to complement and support core HMPPS provision.
We will deliver CFO Evolution both in prisons and in the community in the following ways:
- Prison delivery: Our Support Workers will deliver in 14 prisons across the Northwest and through two specialist wing models – in HMP Risley and HMP Lancaster Farms.
- Community delivery: Three activity Hubs, located in Blackpool, Manchester and Liverpool and three satellite Hubs in Blackburn, Warrington and Preston. We will also offer a limited community service to people on probation who are not able/willing to attend activity Hubs.
Sheila Clark, CEO of Career Connect said: “We are delighted to have been selected to provide this crucial support service for people in prison or on probation. Since July 2015, Achieve Case Managers have enrolled more than 19,000 individuals onto the CFO3 project, both in custody and community settings across the Northwest, so we look forward to being able to support even more people in the future”.
