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.

Novus have partnered with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) to work with employers in the North West to demonstrate the value to their business in recruiting ex-offenders to help fill their skills gap.

To celebrate National Employability Day on Friday 29 June, Novus are hosting a unique conference in the region to offer local employers the opportunity to find out how they can work with the prison service and their partners.

Led by HMPPS in collaboration with Novus, the conference will offer advice and showcase success stories. There will be information about how employers can work with prisons to provide a pipeline of people to fill their skills gaps and address their business needs.

Barbara McDonough, Chief Operating Officer, Novus said: “This is a great opportunity for organisations in the North West to come together to not only support the region’s skills needs but to contribute towards a safer society. We know the importance of employment in helping to reduce re-offending. By working together we can transform the lives of people in custody and equip them with the knowledge and experience employers need to help them gain employment on release.”

The conference will take place in St George’s Hall, Liverpool on Friday 29 June 2018 and will run from 8.15am to 12.30pm.
