The PRISE partnership was unveiled on 18 February. PRISE stands for planned resettlement into sustainable employment and will resettle 16 to 18-year-olds in three pilot areas. The focus will be on young female and ethnic minority offenders.
The PRISE partnership is made up of 27 statutory and voluntary agencies.
Objectives include the development and testing of an effective casework model via Connexions, the prison service and the Youth Justice Board.
It will produce national standards and training on resettlement mentoring.
PRISE has developed a model that will be piloted at three different sites: Greenwich and Lewisham, Oldham and Kent. It will work with young people from sentence, through custody, into the community and finally on to employment.
