Women in Prison (WIP) is a national charity that delivers support for women affected by the criminal justice system in prisons, in the community and through our Women's Centres. We campaign to end the harm caused to women, their families and our communities by imprisonment.
The Bluebird Service is a Women in Prison project funded by NHS England and HMPPS. The Bluebird Service works in partnership with the London Pathway Project, London Probation and the prison service to promote social inclusion and enable hard to reach women to engage and maintain an improved quality of life with the appropriate levels of support. The aim is that this will reduce their risk of reoffending, relapsing and recall.
The Bluebird Service aims to begin engagement with women within the prison, prior to their release. We will then provide intensive 1:1 community support to reach a number of individual support goals, focusing on positive progress in the following areas:
For women to access this support they need to be returning to a London Probation team and either be on the "Offender Personality Disorder Pathway" or at least have criteria where they could be screened into the pathway.
We operate in various Bromley sites: Hope Church Community Centre, Walnuts Shopping Centre, Orpington & Queen Adelaide Community Centre, Penge.
