Mentoring Programme for clients released under investigation/ Police bail.
Clients are self-referrals who have received details of bthechange via the six Police custody centres in Devon & Cornwall (Newquay, Camborne, Plymouth, Barnstable, Exeter & Torquay).
Through a peer mentoring programme we support individuals and their families at the pre-sentence stage of the criminal justice system. Our current Prison Exit programme is designed to help 1st time prisoners with the transition between custody and community. This service allows our clients to be met at the gate by their mentor who has previously been working with them on a weekly basis. People receive a bespoke service from us, focused on addressing any immediate needs such as: immediate phone calls, charging phones, giving breakfast and coffee, sorting out medication issues, calling probation, speaking to family & handing out clothing
