Description of initiative
The St Giles Trust, a charity, has evaluated the impact of their first foreign national ‘Peer Advisor Scheme’ at HMP Huntercombe, a foreign national-only prison. Serving prisoners were trained to become qualified advice workers, able to provide immigration and resettlement advice to their fellow prisoners. The results of the 2 year programme will be of interest to those shaping resettlement services for foreign prisoners in other prisons. The St Giles Trust won the Robin Corbett Award for Prisoner Rehabilitation for its work at HMP Huntercombe.
Local to HMP Huntercombe though may be rolled-out nationally. Not applicable Further Information from The St Giles Trust and Report https://www.stgilestrust.org.uk/misc/The%20Peer%20Advisor%20Model%20in%20Prisons%20-final%20final.pdf
