Aim/Purpose:
Passport CashBack is a National Service providing support for young people in custody prior to liberation, and on a community outreach basis, that increases their employability skills. Our Caseworkers cover the Central Belt, Renfrewshire, Fife and Tayside. We work in partnership across all areas to ensure our young people leaving custody have access to the appropriate employability support. We work with young people residing within HMP and YOI Polmont, offering skills training whilst the young people are in custody. We support all young people being liberated into further education, training and employability. We also offer support to young people serving community sentences and diversion. Within the communities that we work in we have designated Caseworkers, who will work with the young people in order to achieve an Action Plan that reflects their interests and aptitudes. Caseworkers will encourage the uptake of other appropriate activity and designated services to best ensure the widest support. The Caseworker will arrange and deliver skills training; make links with employers; encourage employer involvement; and help individuals access opportunities and manage disclosure of convictions
