No entanto, as taxas pela metade da metade onde o indivíduo ganha emprego na liberação. entrada. Já apoiamos mais de 300 prisioneiros com esse conselho e expandiremos significativamente esse número em um futuro próximo, por isso é ótimo ter uma equipe de projeto liderada por estudantes da UCLAN a bordo para apoiar aqueles que desejam uma segunda chance, mostrando-lhes uma maneira de evitar que os alunos sejam atribuídos no relatório dos alunos do Satury Surtion, do que os alunos de apoio ao soluno de apoio ao soluno de suporte ao atendimento ao soluno de suporte de autoconfiança. Experiência prática no processo. Ganhar experiência de voluntariado. ”
The pilot initiative is a collaboration between the University’s Faculty of Business and Justice together with RIFT Social Enterprise (RSE), an organisation that works with prisoners and former prisoners, supporting them in creating sustainable businesses.
The partnership will draw upon the experience of UCLan’s *Criminal Justice Partnership and give students real-life learning opportunities, supporting clients in areas such as marketing, business planning, tax, and bookkeeping.
In 2017, the Lammy Review reported that reoffending is estimated to cost the UK taxpayer between £9.5 and £13.5 billion per year. Currently, re-offending rates can exceed 40 percent and half of all crime is committed by those who have already been through the criminal justice system. However, rates halve where the individual gains employment on release.
Andy Gullick, Chief Executive of RSE and an alumnus of the University, said: “At RSE we offer tailored, practical advice to some of the most marginalised in society and this includes prisoners and former prisoners who are interested in becoming self-employed.
“It’s the practical things like insurance and general business start-up information which can often represent barriers to entry. We already support over 300 prisoners with this advice and we’ll be significantly expanding that number in the near future so it’s great to have a student-led project team from UCLan on board to support those who want a second, better chance, showing them there is a way to avoid getting trapped in the cycle of reoffending.”
Through the virtual self-employment support clinic UCLan students from a variety of business-related courses** will advise clients while gaining practical experience in the process.
Alexandra Brown, 32, from Rossendale is a first-year student studying international business. She volunteered for the project to make the most of her experience at UCLan. “This initiative is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile cause, which will really help people,” Alexandra explained. “At the same time, I’ll be able to expand my knowledge and skills whilst meeting other participating students and gaining volunteering experience.”
Debbie Wood, professor de contabilidade e finanças da Escola de Negócios da UCLAN, acrescentou:“ O serviço de autônomo da RSE é uma oferta única e os alunos e os acadêmicos estão animados por se envolver em apoiar uma iniciativa tão valiosa. Esperamos que a clínica virtual, com webinars mensais planejados, forneça aos nossos alunos uma fantástica oportunidade de aprendizado do mundo real, ajudando as pessoas a dar pequenos passos na reconstrução de suas vidas. ”
