Key findings this quarter
Two requests are being published this quarter: HMPPS Co-Financing Organisation (CFO) Employability Programme and Life Cycle UK’s “Bike Back” programme.
HMPPS Co-Financing Organisation
CFO Employability Programme works with offenders in prison and the community, to help them access mainstream services, with the aim of gaining skills and employment and the intention to reduce reoffending.
The headline results show that those who received support in the community had a lower frequency of reoffending and took longer to reoffend that those who did not receive support from CFO. More people would be needed to establish the impact of prison and TTG support on reoffending behaviours.
Life Cycle UK
The second request was for Life Cycle UK’s “Bike Back” programme, which aims to improve offenders’ workplace abilities and confidence by teaching them cycle mechanic skills through refurbishment of unwanted and broken bicycles.
The overall results show that more people would need to have completed the programme and be available for analysis. In order to determine the way in which the programme affects a person’s reoffending behaviour, but this should not be taken to mean that the programme fails to affect it.
