What are you doing to support prison staff to become more aware of learners educational needs?
The DfES has produced in-service training courses specifically designed to raise the awareness of prison and probation officers; the training is being trialled with prison, probation and Skills for Life staff. DfES has also funded action research in order to develop guidance for mainstream teachers on improving listening and speaking skills among offenders. Prison staff have also been actively involved in the Move On in Prisons and Probation project. In the scheme, they become ‘recruiters’ who signpost and support offenders to take national literacy and numeracy courses and tests.
