I think letting them work, sooner rather than later, is part of the solution. They need not be forced; most WANT work. Some with have the skills to be drivers or to do care work. Agricultural work is actually quite skilled, even cutting Caulis or digging up Spuds but some may be OK with training.
Not sure tagging is necessary. If they're a flight risk, in the sense of disappearing into the black economy or their own community in, say, Blackburn, they'll shed the tag and do that anyway. There's also evidence that, at least for for already traumatised people, tagging is a really bad thing psychologically.
