PEDPS Contract 17201 HMPS Elmley Motivational

To provide a personal development programme designed to work with men not engaging in the regime and with history of exclusion. The programme will be designed to cater for men who have disengaged in the regime, hard to reach with low self-esteem.

The program will focus on personal development, self-refection, positive thinking and techniques to create and keep motivation. There needs to be a focus on improving levels of goal setting and personal development in order to support positive engagement with the prison and the wider community, aligned with the wider strategic priorities for Reducing Reoffending.

The programme will need to encourage men to think about their own life journey, the direction they are heading and how they might want to change. Delivery needs to explore different cultural contexts and how individual personal safety and awareness of self and others and the environment will support them in the rehabilitative journey and deter from reoffending.

The programme needs to foster a rehabilitative culture within the sessions and embed values, behaviours and attitudes using innovative training tools. Using strategies to engage include personal development, creative writing, theatre, music and spoken work.
