Supporting positive futures

We have above average success rates in functional skills English and Maths courses.

We ensure our foreign national women are placed on courses to learn English as a second language in order to help them navigate life both inside and outside of prison.

Our women have won awards for their achievements in catering and the arts.

We work with external employers as well as within the wider Sodexo group to provide opportunities for Release on Temporary License. These opportunities have resulted in permanent employment for our women once released from prison. 
 

Secretary of State for Justice says we're "leading the way".

Upon visiting HMP & YOI Bronzefield the former Secretary of State for Justice remarked;

“HMP Bronzefield is leading the way in responding to local market needs by putting an end to the now defunct textile workshop, and instead giving prisoners barista work, training and qualifications.  We want all of our prisons to follow suit.
