Provision of Information, Advice and Guidance Services to Prisoners in HES Prison Group
Awarded 31 Mar 2020
About
Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to The Forward Trust for the provision of accurate and impartial information, advice and guidance to prisoners within the HES Prison Group.
The service aimed to support prisoners in making decisions about their sentence journey, including learning, training, and work opportunities while in custody and upon release.
Key outcomes included reducing reoffending through confidential and equal-opportunity services, aligning Personal Learning Plans with individual learning, supporting basic English and Mathematics development, and providing information to prisoners and potential employers about education courses, qualifications, and training.
The service was required to conform to Matrix standards, with staff qualified to at least a Level 3 award in careers information, advice and guidance.
It also involved transferring individuals to the through-the-gate National Careers Service for continuity upon release, providing continuity of service inspiration and employer engagement activities, and using digital platforms such as Virtual Campus, Passport 2 Employment, and Gov.uk.
Suppliers were expected to collaborate with other services and agencies including DWP Work Coach, CFO3 providers, New Futures Network Employment Brokers, and CRCs, and to offer bespoke services aligned with each prison's needs.
The contract value was £427,744.05.
