Our objective is to greatly increase the number of people in prison studying Further and Higher Education. DWRM works to break down the barriers to successful delivery of Higher Education in prison, which we have experienced from both sides of the fence. We work with universities to offer a much wider choice of degree courses than are currently available to students in prison. We focus on the provision of study materials, tuition and greater participation in a learning community so as to properly engage students. As there is currently very limited support for prisoners on release, this tends to mean students are unable to complete their course or sit the required exams. Such students become disillusioned and often lost in terms of continuing with their education. We intend to bridge that gap by providing post release support to enable students to attend university campus to complete their degree. This includes digital literacy training and peer mentor support. Although our initial focus is on Higher Education, we plan to adopt a flexible provision which will incorporate Further Education and Apprenticeships. This option to “earn while you learn” is highly suited to people leaving prison and we are keen to promote this progressive opportunity, with the support of appropriate partners. Our extensive experience ranges from working in and around prisons for many years, to becoming an academic during a long prison sentence. We have an ambitious long-term plan to increase the number of students accessing Further and Higher Education in prison to 25% of the prison population within 10 years – an increase of 20,000 students. This will incorporate both FE and HE Apprenticeships which combine academic and vocational learning.
