Pre-employability in Clackmannanshire (PEC) is a programme that involves different organisations including the Clackmannanshire Economic Regeneration Trust and APEX to support people with significant barriers to work including those who have been in touch with the justice system.
They provide health, wellbeing and training support for qualifications to help people get work.
Teams working as part of their Community Payback Orders help grow vegetables for local foodbanks and recovery cafes. With the supervisor, unpaid work teams in North Ayrshire carry out gardening at Smithstone House, Kilwinning. The teams maintain the grounds of the religious retreat and are able to make use of the walled garden to grow produce for communities in need.
Fife College provides a range of programmes such as health and safety, peer mentoring, e-learning, cookery, arts and crafts for people in prison across Scotland.
Courses on offer range from basic literacy and numeracy through to formal qualifications.
Education programmes help prepare people to transition back into communities when they leave prison – through improving their chances for work and also wellbeing.
Teams working as part of their Community Payback Orders help maintain a community garden located in the grounds of Kilmarnock Fire Station. The unpaid work teams in East Ayrshire are tasked with painting the fence, weeding and general upkeep of the garden which is used by different community groups.
Finding work after leaving prison is important in helping people transition back into communities and avoid reoffending.
A careers coach from Skills Development Scotland works with people in Perth Prison as part of a multi-agency approach. Perth Prison Partnership helps people prepare to return to communities.
Skills Development Scotland also supports employability fairs at HMP Perth. Employers are invited into the prison to be shown the facilities and to discuss training that could be delivered and what standards are expected in the workplace.
The prison staff are in touch with local employers to help understand work needs and gaps in the market within the Perth and Kinross area. The aim is to develop services and training geared to matching the needs of individuals with employers’ expectations.
Skills Development Scotland works in conjunction with the Life Skills Centre within the prison and the Learning and Development Hub – which is an in-house Fife College unit - to prepare people for employment when they leave prison.

This is an old saying about children and this is the way of interaction between the children and the teachers in White Fields Nursery.
‘Tell me the number you were able to toss with the ball’, this was the game today. Children enjoyed playing a target toss game of numbers, which focussed on their gross motor skills and numeracy as well.
In addition to that, children had a flower Math game puzzle, and they completed the flower according to the numbers.
They had so much to do with numeracy today and stuck the numbers on caterpillars, during the numeracy class to learn numbers.
They were involved in the color game, focusing on their identifying skills. Foot print hopping was great for coordination and balancing. They were so creative in collaging feathers on the UAE national bird.
To enhance their literacy skills, they learnt about Phonic ’N’ and its vocabulary.
Today’s Science Activity focused on STEM-Learning.
An excellent learning experience again…

•Background:
Community justice is where people who have broken the law are held to account and supported to reconnect and contribute to their communities.
Where it is safe to do so, people who commit certain crimes receive community-based sentences. This can include treatment for underlying issues such as drug or alcohol addiction, unpaid work, fines and compensation or restrictions of liberty such as electronic tagging and curfews.
The evidence shows community justice can help people stop breaking the law again leading to fewer victims and safer communities.
