PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES The STAJ program has been operating now for three and a half years. Early figures indicates that when prisoners combine vocational education and training with real work opportunities linked to a job in the community, the likelihood of them returning to prison decreases significantly. This in turn produces direct savings to the criminal justice system and indirect savings to society as a whole. NTDCS recognises that it must ensure that the business sector is not disadvantage by STAJ and has taken several steps to make this initiative transparent, including: • Regular public forums for local businesses in Darwin and Alice Springs to explain the benefits of STAJ, for example the reliability of prisoners, their willingness to work and the fact that they are drug and alcohol free; • Individual meetings with local businesses to address any concerns; and • Regular monitoring by the Correctional Industries Advisory Council, which comprises representatives from the community, peak employer bodies, Unions NT, training organisations, the Chamber of Commerce and NT Government departments. The STAJ program is offering employers an alternative source of local labour that does not rely on labour sourced from overseas and requiring a visa. It also provides local employers with the advantage of accessing staff who are reliable, drug and alcohol free and willing to work. Prisoner welding The delivery model adopted in this program remains sustainable in to the future given the positive outcomes and strong partnerships across the organisations involved. STAJ has been innovative in how it has been developed. It aims to deliver a holistic approach in the provision of education, training and employment, and its involvement of external stakeholders – in particular, local employers. Its approach to mirror real life work and living situations as far as practical is the most important aspect of the program. STAJ will continue to deliver successful outcomes for reducing re-offending, returns to the corrections system and having a positive impact on community safety by further developing prisoners employment capability into the future.

PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES Family Violence Program The NTDCS Family Violence Program (FVP) is an adult community based psychological-educational program. The program is delivered over a period of five days by FVP facilitators in consultation with local individuals, Elders, community groups and agencies. The program reinforces that family violence is a crime and is not acceptable. It challenges attitudes and behaviours that allow violence and abuse to occur, develops capacity to accept responsibility for violence committed, and allows offenders to remain in community while learning and practising skills and strategies to reduce the likelihood of violent behaviour. The FVP is a referral based program accepting mandated referrals through Courts, Judges and Probation and Parole Officers. The program has also accepted referrals made through community and other government agencies and organisations, self-referrals, and community referrals from families and friends. The FVP delivers on the following topics: Topic 1 Introduction/What is Family Violence? Topic 2 Life Story/ Positive and Negative Experiences and Attitudes Topic 3 How Violence Affects Self, Family and Community Topic 4 Immediate Factors Preceding Violence Topic 5 Managing Anger and Jealousy Topic 6 Communication Skills Topic 7 Violence and Substance Abuse Topic 8 Revision and Action Plan DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES 93
