Half of the 72,000 prisoners in England and Wales have serious
problems with reading, and four-fifths with writing, according
to the Government. Both the prison and probation services are
committed to taking action to reduce crime by improving education
and training for offenders, those who are given community services
and those released from prison. There are considerable challenges
these services face to change their culture and practices in
order to provide better support for those with poor basic skills.
The links on the left provide more information about working with offenders. You can also read
