We are working to ensure that every prisoner has a Personal Learning Plan.

Since April 2019, 35,832 have been created, and we are further developing these plans to bring together key information on the prisoner’s learning and support needs, as well as their aspirations and goals. In this way, we will ensure that everyone working with the prisoner on their education, skills and work pathways is aware of their individual needs.
