COVID-19 UPDATE 07.01.2021

COVID-19 and national restrictions meant we needed to quickly respond to a new way of delivery in prison education. Our teams have worked tirelessly to create workbooks and provide new ways of working so that we can continue to support our learners with access to education to enable them to achieve the best outcome they can. 

We are working closely with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and Youth Custody Service (YCS) to create a COVID-safe programme of learning that has the health and safety of our learners and colleagues at its heart, just as other education settings are doing across the country. Health and safety is an area of critical importance to us and our central Group COVID team has been in continuous operation since the beginning of the pandemic managing and monitoring all risks and issues rigorously and consistently.

Awards Delight For Novus And Barclays

Partner


Wed 26 Aug 2015
Our partnership with Barclays winning the Special Recognition Award

The unique partnership formed by Novus and Barclays to deliver a skills programme for offenders at HMP/YOI Hindley, aimed at improving employability, has been recognised at the bank’s Citizenship Awards 2015.

Among the projects Barclays champions is the Overcoming Challenges initiative, which aims to equip young people with the information and skills needed to contribute to society, covering financial awareness, work interview skills and CV writing among many other vital life tools.

Barclays forged a partnership with Novus to offer young people at HMP/YOI Hindley the chance to gain vital skills required for life after release. The sessions also begin a journey for the young people involved, helping them make positive decisions on the way to securing a new role.

Our partnership with Barclays won the Special Recognition Award, in addition to being awarded Highly Commended in the Supporting Communities category. The programme involves volunteers from Barclays holding half-day training sessions at HMP/YOI Hindley every fortnight as part of the bank’s Citizenship project with between three and five young people attending per session.

Novus employment broker for the North West, Gary Spann, said: “'Barclays has been such an enthusiastic and energetic partner with the Novus team over the past 18 months. Their team's commitment to a long-term relationship for this project is very exciting for Novus and the young people that they are inspiring along the way.”
