HMP & YOI Warren Hill - More Information
As part of our year-round programme Aldeburgh provides RoTL (Release on Temporary Licence) opportunities for some young people.
These opportunities have included: helping on Open Air events during the Aldeburgh Festival; volunteering as an assistant in other education projects including work with schools and education technology residencies; work experience within the community including at a local radio station; running Professional Development days for Prison Officers and Youth Offending Teams’ staff; and speaking at events including schools and conferences (both national and international).
For some Aldeburgh has provided continued support once released from custody in the form of work experience placements – in the office environment or on projects. We can also offer support and advice for those wishing to continue to develop their interests and skills developed with us.
