- **Event Description**: An NECC 'inclusive employment workshop', at HMP Holme House, exploring employment opportunities for ex-offendersAbout this EventWe know that from our Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) that:· Continued recruitment challenges have knocked business confidence.· Staff costs are amongst the biggest business concerns in the North East.· Companies across the region are increasingly looking to recruitment and retention in increasingly diverse waysRecently published statistics shows that Middlesbrough tops the list with the highest reoffending rate, where two in five (40.2%) offenders go on to reoffend. Regionally, the North East is a reoffending hotspot, with Hartlepool (35.3%), Redcar and Cleveland (32.4%), and Stockton-on-Tees (31.3%) all appearing within the top third of the rankings.We know from previous NECC events in 2025, that there is a positive link between employment and reducing re-offending rates. Minister for Probation, Prisons and Reducing Reoffending, James Timpson, has said “getting former offenders into stable work is a sure way of cutting crime and making our streets safer. That’s why partnering with businesses to get more former offenders into work is a win-win.”Here at NECC, we are keen to help business explore employment options for ex-offenders by giving business a chance to experience first-hand the options available for people in a custodial setting.By seeing and hearing the opportunities first-hand, business can then decide whether employing an ex-offender is the right option for them.Giving someone an opportunity at a 2nd chance might be the best decision you can make.Agenda:0930 - Arrival and registration / sign-in0940 - Coffee and introduction0955 - Tour of workshop(s) and/or education1045 - Q &amp; A / discussion1130 - finishIMPORTANT - SECURITY INFORMATIONPlease note that registration will close 5 days prior to the event, so to pass registered names on to the Pr*son.No security vetting is needed for this visit, although you will be requested to provide your name and date of birth as part of the Department of Justice arrangements of visiting HMP Holme House.
