Policy

Alongside our work supporting individual prisoners, we advocate for system-wide improvements in prison education.

We use our voice to inform the public, parliament and media about the positive impact of education on rehabilitation, learning from people with lived experience of prison and making the case for change.

Our priorities are:

• Learning from people in prison and making their voices heard
• Ensuring that prison education is well resourced and effective
• Making sure distance learning is supported in prison
• Campaigning for access to digital technology in prison
• Opening up universities to people with convictions

In 2012, we worked with other organisations to form the Prisoner Learning Alliance (PLA), a network of organisations and individuals using its collective voice to improve prison education.
