About this course
Education in prison has run on a 1989 document for thirty-seven years. In April 2026 that document was formally replaced — and the new one is written for the learners and the technology you actually have in front of you. Monday — read the new rules against your own provision and write down, section by…
Methodology
Audit before design
Day 1 produces a short written gap list for your own service — or for one of the supplied profiles — taken from the recommendation's own section headings. The workshops after that each work on a line of that list where one applies, so nothing is designed in the abstract.
Numbered, not opinionated
every change proposed during the week is tied to a numbered rule you can quote at home. The argument has to travel without you in the room.
Inside and after
the Tuesday and Wednesday workshops are worked for a secure institution and again for a community or transition setting, because most participants move between the two in the same week.
What you'll take home
Read an education offer against CM/Rec(2026)5 and write down, section by section, where it falls short.
Build a vocational pathway on the EU's three-step model — skills assessment, tailored learning offer, validation and recognition — with the recognition route named before teaching starts.
Rebuild one teaching session three ways: for adult literacies, for neurodivergent learners, and for learners who do not share the language of instruction.
Plan digital-literacy teaching that works inside a secure technical infrastructure, and say what it teaches that printed material cannot.
Make the parity case in your own institution — status, pay and what a certificate discloses — with the rule numbers that support it.
Set out what your service needs in order to keep experienced staff in it — supervision, debriefing, protected development time — and write the request for the piece that is missing.
