BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN CUSTODY AND THE COMMUNITY
Working
in partnership with The Royal British Legion, the Foundation Training Company
Ltd’s prime focus is a stable life and
a lawful career after release for ex-Service offenders in the East of England.The Foundation Training Company Ltd (FTC) delivers Resettlement Training Programmes in nine prisons situated in the Eastern Region and has opened a Training and Resource Centre in Hackney, London. In 2005/2006 FTC delivered full-time resettlement courses to over 1,600 prisoners, and interventions on personal issues and resettlement to a further 3,500.
Since
May 2006, FTC has worked in partnership with The Royal British Legion (TRBL)
in the Eastern Region, having one member of staff in each location trained
as a TRBL caseworker. This has enabled FTC to start the referral
process for ex-Servicemen in prison earlier in their sentence, which in turn
means case notes arrive with TRBL County Officers faster for their consideration,
with help readily available for their release.
So far, FTC has referred
17 ex-offenders with a military background to RBL, of whom 10 have received
direct support ranging from rent deposits to a grant to pay for the release
of a car from the pound and payment of its MOT.
