Inside Out
Inside Out offers enhanced resettlement support to 16-19 year olds leaving custody, primarily those on Detention and Training Orders.
We aim to help young people step out in a different direction.
Support workers meet the young people on the day they are released, take them to their accommodation and then go with them or encourage them to visit other agencies and access other support.
Inside Out support workers will make sure young people have a support program in place on release, to keep people engaged and to help with reducing of re-offending.
The project can support young people returning to live in one of the following local authority areas:
• Bristol • Bath and Northeast Somerset (BANES) • North Somerset • Somerset • South Gloucestershire • Gloucestershire. Age range • Age 16-19 and • Leaving custody on a youth disposal (DTO/Section 91) and • At risk of leaving custody without settled accommodation or likely to have difficulty sustaining accommodation on release. We will give priority to planned referrals for young people leaving custody. This can include young people aged 15 who will soon be leaving custody age 16. We will also consider referrals of young people who have already left custody and require additional support through transitions. (Transitions include: transition from custody to community, YOT to IMPACT/Probation, youth to adult substance misuse and mental health services, when statutory supervision ends).
Agencies and YOI referrals: All referrals should be made through a Youth Offending Team case worker using the Inside Out Referral Form or call 0117 317 8800 and ask to speak to the Support Services Manager. If you know someone who might need support: Call 0117 317 8800 ask to speak to the Support Services Manager.
