service provision. IASIO’s current operational scope includes three
national Services and two smaller projects: The Linkage Service, the
Gate Service, the Resettlement Service; and The Community Support
Scheme and The Supported Employment Service. In particular, it is the

of direct services to offenders in the community and to prisoners,
services which range from 1-to-1 guidance and placement into training,
education, employment, group work, psychometric assessment,
