Resettlement Leaflet and Guidance Booklet

Between July and September, to assist me in providing immediate pre-release support to enable practitioners and meet the resettlement needs of their Person in Prison, I will have access to the new the resettlement pack, which includes a leaflet for people in prison, and 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, I will have had access to these since January 2022.

The Booklet is primarily a resource tool for my team and can be used during interviews with their person in prison. It includes advice and tips on how we support practitioners and people in prison, when planning for their release. The information provided in the leaflet represents some of the support services available to everyone in the community.

Developed with people with lived experience, the leaflet and guidance booklet focus on promoting self-learning, engagement in purposeful activity and support my team in delivering pre-release activity. They are designed to be a national resource and we should use them to supplement rather than replace existing regional or local products. My team should aim to ensure that everyone leaves prison with a leaflet.

I have access to a guidance document which will explain how to place an order for both documents, available to convicted and unconvicted people in prison. I will need to ensure the leaflets are placed in prison libraries and reception. Printed versions of the leaflet and guidance booklet can be ordered on the PSPI Storefront. Please speak to the prison stores manager or administration lead with access to Storefront, who will be able to order the leaflet and booklet for you.  http://pspistore.com
