Notice Title
Literacy Innovation Fund
Notice Description
Our vision is that everyone of working age and able to work should leave prison prepared for employment or further education and training. We want to establish a 'golden thread' of learning, skills development and progress across all areas of education, skills and work in custody to ensure every prisoner is on a learning, employment and personal development pathway towards outcomes on release. Two key priorities moving forward are improving literacy and numeracy of all prisoners and offering prisoners education, skill and work opportunities that will increase their prospects of finding a job on release. Solutions which deliver English learning in an appealing and accessible way to prisoners (including those that may have additional learning needs) who are currently unable or unwilling to engage in the current education offer to improve their literacy skills. We are particularly interested in approaches that support prisoners with a range of reading and writing needs, including decoding, word reading, reading fluency, vocabulary learning, spelling and reading/writing practice.
