Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills. -

Annex D – What We Asked
Annex D – What we asked Letter dated 17 July 2014 from the Director General of the Crime and Policing Group, Home Office Dear Colleagues CHILD SEX ABUSE As you are aware, on 7 July, the Home Secretary announced two separate inquiries relating to child sex abuse: an independent inquiry panel (“Inquiry Panel”) to consider whether and the extent to which public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse and a review (“the Review”) of the independent investigations, commissioned in 2013 by the Home Office’s Permanent Secretary. I am writing to provide further details of these and to suggest related action which your departments may wish to take. The Review The Home Secretary appointed Peter Wanless, the Chief Executive of the NSPCC, and Richard Whittam QC to review the independent investigations commissioned last year by the Permanent Secretary to look at two separate issues: firstly whether the Home Office received any information about organised child sex abuse between 1979 to 1999; and secondly whether the Home Office had ever funded the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). The Review will consider whether those investigations were carried out appropriately and whether their conclusions are robust. In addition and importantly, the Review will also examine how the police and prosecuting authorities receiving information from the Home Office handled that information when it was referred to them. I attach the terms of reference of the Review to this letter for your information. It is worth noting that the two independent investigations referred to immediately above are referred to as “reviews” in the terms of reference. -

Wanless Whittam Review Report Nov 14 Summary
Summary of An Independent Review of Two Home Office Commissioned Independent Reviews looking at Information Held in Connection with Child Abuse from 1979-1999, by Peter Wanless and Richard Whittam, November 2014 Introduction On 7th July 2014 Home Secretary Theresa May announced two separate inquires to address public concerns: first that in the 1980s the Home Office failed to act on allegations of child sex abuse and, second, that public bodies and other important institutions failed to take seriously their duty of care towards children. In relation to the first concern, Peter Wanless, NSPCC Chief Executive, and lawyer Richard Whittam, QC, were asked to undertake an eight to ten week review into the Home Office handling of historical child sex abuse and how police and prosecutors had dealt with information they had received in the 1980s. That report was published on November 11th 2014. The review was, in fact, a review of two previous reviews commissioned by the Home Office Permanent Secretary. One examined what the Home Office knew and did about cases of organised child abuse from 1979 to 1999 (Review 1 completed in June 2013) whilst the other looked specifically at whether the Home Office had ever given grant funding to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) (Review 2). Both earlier reviews were published as annexes to the Wanless and Whittam report The current review, the findings of which were presented as a single document, had been asked to consider: • Whether the Terms of Reference of the original reviews had been appropriate -
