Since our launch in 2005, Reset, a two-year national resettlementproject led by the charity Rainer, has spoken to young people whoconstantly tell us they feel resettlement is done to them rather thanwith them. As a result young offenders feel disempowered anddisenchanted.
Our experience shows that many young people have the talent andmotivation to produce innovative resources and shape services. Reset hasrecently launched a free resettlement checklist on www.reset.uk.net that17 young offenders helped to create.
We are also a year into the process of developing a resettlementhandbook with young adult prisoners thanks to funding from BigBoost.
If we are to tackle re-offending we must find ways to ensure that youngpeople are at the centre of resettlement planning.
