Prisoners’ Education Trust – Our strategy 2022-2026
Everyone in prison, wherever they are in the country and whatever their background, should have access to education. PET’s five-year strategy sets out our plans to make that happen.
Prisoners’ Education Trust (PET) offers distance learning courses, advice and guidance to people in prison. We help 1,600 people each year, giving them the skills to build brighter futures.
We use our research and expertise to improve prison education and show policymakers and the public the impact it can have.
