Learning for women in prison: report on the role of learning and skills in responding positively to the issues and circumstances faced by women in prison

Report that looks at how learning is key to responding positively to the issues and circumstances faced by women in prison and how programmes have been successful in progressing the learning for work and the reducing reoffending agendas.

The main body of the report is divided into five parts, each focusing on a different theme: the particular and complex needs of women in prison; supporting transitions; learning for progression; learning for employment; and working creatively with partners. These themes reflect the range of needs of women in prison. Each section includes a summary of research and policy evidence, principles of good practice and an in depth case study of current practice.
