RDNLP Working with Offenders and Offender Management
I have fifteen years experience of running government funded
employment based projects, the last five of which have seen me
specialise in work with ex-offenders.
With the London Action Trust I facilitated personal development courses
for prisoners in HMP Brixton in South London.
While my work for the A4e Job Mates Project saw me rapidly become the
ex-offender community liaison officer for the whole of Cambridgeshire.
In April 2009 RDNLP secured a contract to provide a Life Coaching
programme for attendees of the Persistent Prolific Offenders unit in
Enfield, North London. This pilot programme will last for one year
initially and is designed to develop and motivate offenders to find and
retain full time employment or training.

RDNLP can do this by:
- Supplementing and enhancing existing services.
- Adding flexibility and innovation to your policies and procedures.
- Providing specialised training for your staff.
- Designing offender specific Life Coaching interventions and
maintenance plans. - Ensuring you know what you want and what it will do for you.
