Insights gained from helping EX SERVICE PERSONNEL, who have entered the criminal justice system to progress into employment

I have had the privilege of meeting numerous veterans in prison & helping many to secure permanent jobs in the community.

People leaving the armed forces need more support than is offered.

Some have complex resettlement needs including mental health challenges & struggle to adapt to civilian life.

Many have non-mainstream qualifications & struggle to secure employment without practical help.

3/9
Most veterans are used to having a regimented structure to their lives & rules to follow.

In the absence of such structure, many dwell on their experiences & slip into despair; others turn to drugs, alcohol,or crime.

Employment helps, providing a support network & stability

Veterans who are suffering from diagnosed or undiagnosed PTSD make up a surprisingly high percentage of the prison population.

Years ago politicians promised veterans a career in the prison service after discharge.

Unfortunately, those promises were not delivered; thousands of Armed Forces Personnel did come to prison - BUT not as officers, instead as prisoners themselves.

Boris Johnson, address to the nation 1st Jan 2022.

"We have all sacrificed so much to save lives & protect the NHS. You have done everything possible to protect your families & we, your government have likewise spent unimaginable amounts supporting you & your loved ones."

"Individually and together as a nation, we have paid a huge price for this.

Despite doing everything possible to provide support, millions have lost incomes, businesses and livelihoods; as a country, we are in debt that can never be repaid."

4/24

"When balancing saving lives or saving money, the decision was simple, we had to spend whatever it took.

We have borrowed from IMF, from friends, issued & sold bonds, & just like pawning family silver, we have sold large volumes of our assets & infrastructure."

"Our economy lies in ruins & we have reached the limits of our borrowing capacity.
We must however keep paying the UC& Universal Basic Income on which so many of us now depend. Without this, suffering will be unimaginable, the potential loss of life, too big to comprehend."
