Skip to main content Supported by other rehabilitation programmes, it gives people time to find permanent housing, work, and get registered with other essential services. The aim of CAS is to reduce reoffending and the likelihood of someone ending up back in prison. With benefits not just for the individuals concerned but also feeding into policy goals to reduce overcrowding in prison and reduce reoffending . We’ve built 3 separate but related digital products to support CAS. This case study focuses on CAS3 which supports people at risk of homelessness when leaving prison. Research shows that prison leavers without settled accommodation are almost 50% more likely to reoffend . Outcome We designed and built a new centralised end to end service so probation officers across England and Wales can make sure people leaving prison have an appropriate place to stay. The new service has now rolled out across all regions. It reduces the resource and effort needed to complete applications and manage bookings, freeing up valuable time for staff. We have imported risk information to ensure people are placed in the right setting. Updates are sent to key systems across the Probation Service, so officers have access to all the information they need about an individual.
