Resettlement Leaflet and Guidance Booklet – ‘Prepare for your Future’

Between July and September, to assist me in providing immediate pre-release support and meet the resettlement needs of my Person in Prison, I will have access to the new the resettlement Pack which includes a leaflet for people in prison, and a resettlement guidance booklet for my team. If I am in an ‘early adopter’ region of Wales, South Central, West Midlands, North East and Yorkshire and the Humber, my team will have had access to these since January 2022.

Developed with people with lived experience the leaflet and guidance booklet focus on promoting self-learning, engagement in purposeful activity and will support my team in delivering pre-release activity. The resettlement leaflet and guidance booklet are designed to be a national resource and my team should use them to supplement, rather than replace existing regional or local products.

To better understand the purpose of the resettlement leaflet and resettlement guidance booklet, who they are designed for and when to use them,  my team have access to a guidance document. They should aim to ensure that every person who leaves prison will have access to a leaflet, with the booklet used as a resource tool. It is my team’s responsibility to ensure the leaflet is available in prison libraries and receptions

Staff will need to order copies for their team and can access information on how to do that here Resettlement guidance – Welcome Hub (hmppsintranet.org.uk)
