Evaluation of the SWAN project

The Supporting Women Around Northumberland project is delivered by a partnership of Escape Family Support, the Women’s Health Advice Centre, Relate and Fourth Action. The project is one of a series of pilot projects across the country which were developed as a result of the Corston Report. Early indications are that the project is having a significant impact by reducing re-offending rates. For a copy of the summary report, click here and for a full report, click here.
