StandOut is an award-winning charity that empowers people to make positive change, realise their potential and rebuild their lives after prison. The unique programme begins in prison with coaching and practical support and continues after release, for as long as someone needs it.

After an introduction to the essential skills and their importance at the start of the programme, all participants self-reflect on three focus skills; Speaking and Listening (presented under 'Communication') and Teamwork.

They use an assessment adapted from the Benchmark platform to identify both their strengths and the steps they will focus on. Participants then reflect on these throughout the 3-week course and repeat the assessment at the end of the programme to quantify the progress that they have made.

The course is packed full of real-life exercises and activities to develop the three focus skills (and their specific steps) along with confidence, self-esteem and resilience, all with the intention of bringing the skills to life. Each time an exercise provides an opportunity to apply and practise a step (or several), it is flagged both verbally and visually throughout to ensure focus is maintained for meaningful skills development.
