Our offender-paid programmes help individuals address the causes of their offending, take responsibility, and build a safer future for themselves and their communities.
Our short, self-funded courses (with a small one-off fee paid by the police for mobilisation) are generally suitable for offenders aged 18+ and are not suitable for domestic or sexual abuse offences, hate crime, those with an enriched history of inappropriate behaviour or where the offence is against a child.
RISE offers a hybrid delivery model and runs its courses both online and in person. Group delivery is primarily utilised.
