CentreForum report on prison education (2016)
CentreForum have published a report on prison education, assessing the standards of provision and making recommendations for its improvement.
Nacroβs Education Principal, Josh Coleman, and Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Sally Benton, contributed to the expert round table held at CentreForum in December 2015 and have been mentioned in the acknowledgements.
Sally Benton, Nacroβs Head of Policy and Public Affairs, said of the report:
βWe welcome Centre Forumβs report. Access to quality education and training in prison is vital to successful rehabilitation. This in-depth look at how the current system is and isnβt working is part of on-going focus on improving education in prisons and connecting it to tangible work opportunities for people on release.
“Alongside the Sally Coates review into prison education and Charlie Taylor work on the youth justice system, this report builds momentum for change in prison systems that, if we get it right, will change lives and reduce crime.β
