About

Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to Kainos Community for the Living Skills Plus provision at Lancaster Farms, valued at £329,450.

The provision delivers an accredited living skills programme, community living, and follow-up support in the community once released.

Its aim is to reduce repeat re-offending among prisoners who complete the intervention, with intermediate outcomes reflecting the three components: the accredited living skills programme, community living, and post-release follow-up support.

The community living element is a supported living experience sharing elements of both democratic and hierarchical therapeutic communities, rather than being a therapeutic community itself.

The accredited programme is delivered to prisoners resident on the unit.
