Unlocking is our flagship, national recruitment campaign. It will increase the number of prisoners and prison leavers taking up employment opportunities and securing jobs on release.
The Unlocking campaign follows the 2021 Prisons Strategy White Paper which commits to cutting crime and protecting the public with a prison estate designed to rehabilitate prisoners. Unlocking events focus on a specific sector for up to two weeks per quarter. Previous Unlocking events have focussed on sectors such as hospitality, construction, and manufacturing.
