Advocacy
Recruit Prison Officer Training
Recruit Prison Officer TrainingThe Cork Alliance Centre is also one of the agencies involved in the training of new Recruit Prison Officers. We co-facilitate a workshop in the Irish Prison Service College with a former client. It is part of the innovative community focus of the Recruit Prison Officer training, including the user voice. We seek to provide Recruit Prison Officers with an insight into peoples journey into prison, life inside and what happens on release. We explore the desistance and change process and the important role they can play in it.We also participate in the Social Action Volunteer Project, where Recruit Prison Officers can choose to do a placement in our Centre.
Community Initiatives
The Cork Alliance Centre staff present on their work both at a local and national level. This involves engaging with universities and colleges, local and national government, and associated organisations (state, semi-state and not-for-profit sectors).
We also host college student visits.
