Hi, I was really interested in your comments regarding course facilitators, which would be similar to I.O. ( I set up a computer building class in Yorkshire). But, the problem would be my age I think?? I am 58 and my wife 39. When I have looked before at New Zealand, their immigration limit was 45 I think. But, perhaps they regard the prison service as an exception?
I would be grateful for any feedback.

Hello Mark

Thanks once gain for your help. It is very much appreciated. I deliver assertiveness, social and life skills and induction at the moment and have a level four cert.ed (certificate in education) qualification.

I would be really interested in this as it may allow me to continue in my line of work and possibly even on a part time basis so that I could be with the kids as I wouldn't have child care via both Grandma's as I do at the moment.

I was also intersted in your comments regarding probation officers as this is an area that I have always been interested in. I'm afraid I am one of these sad people who actually enjoy working closely with the inmates and trying to rehabillitate them - even though no-one else seems to think thy're in the least bit interested in being rehabillitated.

Anyway thanks again

Suze

Ps

I have had a pm and also sent one to Tony.

PPs Where do most people working at Waikeria seem to live?

Good to see you are still one with the Canada move. Best of luck to you, I'm sure it will be a great move.

They wanted him to start in October 06
Impossible for him as he has to much to sort out

So they gave him a new date of Feb 07 and he is looking forward to going and starting afresh
