We will be publishing data in July 2019 on the number of offenders who entered employment on release from custody for the period 2018/19 as part of the Community performance release. It can be accessed using the following link:

The data will not include information on the numbers of offenders leaving prison who entered further and higher education, which could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
