About This Publication
The stories in this publication were written by individuals who bear the label of ‘offender’ and who have experience of learning while serving either a custodial or community sentence. Their stories highlight the ongoing challenges faced by offenders in learning, how they, with support, were able to overcome those challenges and the positive changes learning has made to their lives.
NIACE believes that the learner voice is key to advocating for effective learning and support for offenders. These stories will allow practitioners and policy makers to gain invaluable insight into the learning needs and experiences of this cohort of learners. We also hope that others who bear the label of ‘offender’ are inspired and motivated to take up more, different and better learning opportunities.
