Lack of progression means missed opportunities for learners in prison

20 Jan 2009

Two new reports published by Ofsted, Learning and skills for offenders serving short custodial sentences and Learning and skills for the longer serving offender, evaluate learning programmes for prisoners serving sentences of less than one year, and greater than four years respectively.

Both reports highlight the need for clear national strategies to support the different learning needs of long and short-term offenders. In the prisons surveyed, there was a lack of clarity about what type of programmes were most appropriate for offenders serving different sentence lengths.
