Presenting Updates: Report progress and updates at the Activity Allocation Board twice weekly, highlighting successes and addressing challenges.

Tracking and Monitoring: Regularly review prisoner progress, adjust allocations as needed, and ensure alignment with individual development plans.

Supporting Evening and Weekend Programmes: Allocate prisoners to enrichment activities that enhance their rehabilitation journey.
