This toolkit was created to help people working and living in prisons to build active citizenship. It is designed to be used by prisoners, prison management and staff, education staff, organisations and people working in the voluntary sector.
Our 2018 - 2020 strategy sets out PET's vision and plans for the future - putting the learner in the centre of everything we do; increasing support for prison staff and our transformation into a digital organisation.
Discover the 250 different courses we offer to people in prison, from beekeeping to book keeping, plumbing to Portuguese, up to degree level.
This toolkit is designed to support educators and prison staff in setting up and delivering a prison-university partnership.
In this toolkit you will find information and guidance on:

This analysis investigates the employment and benefits outcomes of prisoners who received grants for distance learning through PET, compared with a group of similar prisoners who did not receive these grants.
A government guide to changes to prison education provision, including reasons behind the change, how the new system will work, and how to become a service provider in prisons.
Offender Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) contracts come to an end in April 2018, making way for a new era of prison governor-led education commissioning. Prisons are being given increasing flexibility and control over education budgets and the ability to commission a wide range of provision.
The workbook is designed to support prison governors and managers with this process.
This report presents an evaluation of a Learning Together partnership between Open Book at Goldsmiths, University of London and HMP & YOI Isis - supported by the Prisoners’ Education Trust.
