Living Skills Plus at Lancaster Farms

The Living Skills provision provides an accredited living skills programme, community living and follow-up support in the community once released service

The aim of this provision is the reduction in repeat re-offending by the prisoners who complete the intervention. There will be several intermediate outcomes, which illustrate the three components of this provision: an accredited living skills programme, community living and follow-up support in the community once released. It is important to note that the community living part is not intended to be a Therapeutic Community (TC), but rather a supported living experience that shares elements of both a democratic and hierarchical TC. The accredited programme part is to be delivered to prisoners who are resident on the unit.
