Recommendation
The New Futures Network was established by the Ministry of Justice to build partnerships with employers and prisons. However, there is no published data as to what success it is having. The Ministry of Justice must publish annual data showing the number of employment opportunities it has found for former prisoners. The data must show the size of the companies the Network is engaging with to ensure that it is engaging with employers of all sizes, including small and medium sized employers.
Government Response Summary
The government accepts the recommendation and will work to maximise workplace ROTL in the open and female estate, requiring development of a strategy for reshaping the regime, primarily in open prisons.

We accept this recommendation. Work is ongoing to maximise workplace ROTL in the open and female estate. This will require development of a strategy for reshaping the regime, primarily in open prisons, to divert prisoners from current activities, such as workshops serving the internal market, into ROTL, or workshops serving the external, commercial market.
