Simon, our Assistant Principal’s journey with Nacro began almost 13 years ago as an apprentice at our Boston Education & Skills Centre
We are keen to try to influence Government as far as possible to ensure that the reforms address some of the current issues.
Nacro has submitted evidence to the Education Committee’s inquiry on prison education.
In the midst of a third national lockdown, with COVID-19 cases skyrocketing and temperatures plummeting, the issue of rough sleeping has shot to the top of the news agenda.
I was actually quite bright when I was in primary school, I actually got quite good grades, but then they slipped when I went to high school. I didn’t have someone that could push me in a different direction when I was doing bad.
In response to the new Education White Paper, Lisa Capper, Director of Education & Skills, has commented.
Nacro work with learners aged 14-16 yrs, 16-19 yrs, and adult learners across 14 Centres.
The latest official monthly statistics show a sharp increase of 65% in Covid-19 infections in prisons across the country.
We know through our work in prisons and our campaigning that being released from prison during the holidays or on Fridays can make the already complicated release process more difficult.
Last month – and before the national lockdown – learners and staff at our Longton Education & Skills Centre held a stall at a local market.
