It gives us great pride to update and inform on the work we do with young people and adults in custody and in the community, providing them with high quality offender education, training and employability services.
Our teams of colleagues are passionate about transforming lives - it is what makes them tick. We look forward to keeping you abreast of their endeavours in sites across the UK.
Novus news will be regularly updated on our website and can also be digested in New Directions, our quarterly newspaper, which you can download below.
Novus has interesting and exciting news to share. With nearly 3,000 colleagues operating across more than 60 sites and working with over 65,000 offenders annually, there is never a shortage of stories to tell.
The work we do with the Ministry of Justice, the National Offender Management Service, the Youth Justice Board and a variety of partner organisations enables us to report on how we are raising the aspirations of offenders to increase employability and reduce re-offending.
Changing Prisoners’ Lives Through Education
The Government’s Prison Education Framework tender has been announced, and Novus have been awarded a series of major contracts, retaining their position as the UK’s leading provider of education and skills in prisons.
Novus have been delivering education in prisons for over 25 years, working with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and partner organisations to support men and women across the country to develop the skills they need to change their lives.

Novus has built successful and effective partnerships that work to the benefit of offenders and ex-offenders.
From the long-standing working relationships to the more recent partnerships we have forged, we are delighted to join forces in transforming the lives of children, young people and adults through the provision of high quality learning and employability skills.
Working with the Ministry of Justice, the Youth Justice Board and the National Offender Management Service as well as a wide range of visionary charities and organisations, we strive to raise our learners’ aspirations, support them back into purposeful activity, prepare them for the world of work and consequently reduce the risk of re-offending.
