A good education can set you up for life, opening doors to many exciting opportunities. Yet research shows that people who go through the criminal justice system are some of the most academically disadvantaged people in society.
The Ministry of Justice reports that 42% of prisoners entering custody have previously been expelled or permanently excluded from school. The most recent data also reveals that more than half of adult prisoners have literacy levels that are lower than would be expected for an 11-year-old.
Ingeus is working hard to tackle this issue by delivering Education, Training and Employment (ETE) services for people on probation. This work is part of our Commissioned Rehabilitative Services (CRS) to help people on probation reintegrating into society. We support participants to gain the skills they require to achieve sustainable employment.
Ingeus is delivering ETE services in the East Midlands (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire); North East (Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland); and South Central England (Thames Valley and Hampshire).
We offer help and support to people to enable them to develop their skills and gain access to training providers/colleges, employer networks and community resources. Our experienced advisors and mentors are on hand every step of the way to offer guidance and practical support.
Our advisors help create tailored action plans to provide a support package that’s right for each person. We have forged strong partnerships with a network of community-based support services and the charities Change Grow Live and Leonard Cheshire to maximise the support and help available.
Prison-leavers are offered a fresh start, but most often are at a disadvantage when it comes to education. We have more than 25 years of experience supporting some of the hardest-to-reach people in society succeed through training and employment. No matter how limited a person’s education or employment history may be, we know they can unlock their true potential with the right support.

Our peer mentoring scheme is central to all of our justice services. This scheme quickly establishes a strong rapport with people in prison or on probation, earning their trust and providing a true sense of empathy due to their own experiences of the justice system. This also allows opportunities to the Peer Mentors themselves and supports them on their own journey.
