As part of the 2020 Spending Review HMT awarded HMPPS a £50 million Reducing Reoffending Package of funding. This package delivered a series of initiatives through 3 strands: Prisons Trialling New Approaches, Community Accommodation Tier 1 and Community Accommodation Tier 3.
These initiatives focused primarily on accommodation for prison leavers, but also included funding to test innovative new approaches to improving rehabilitative support and outcomes, with the overall aim of reducing reoffending.
This process evaluation was conducted to help understand the mechanisms of roll-out, implementation and delivery for each strand of the investment, to capture prisoners’ and people on probation’s experiences of the investment and to gather evidence on how initiatives had impacted outcomes for those involved.
