This resource comprises the report and resources developed by an Equality and Diversity Partnership Project led by the Small Woods Association (with Telford & Wrekin Council and West Mercia Probation Trust) in 2009-10. ‘Amazon Woman’ was a 12 week structured learning programme which demonstrated the opportunities for women offenders within the occupationally segregated Forestry sector. Taking place two days per week in a woodland environment, the women received expert tuition and support to gain skills in woodland management and greenwood crafts. They also received mentoring and guidance into follow on opportunities including employment, training and volunteering.
The resources included are:
• Final Report
• Analysis for Report
• Amazon Women tell us what they think
