  • Prison Education in England and Wales. (2Nd Revised Edition)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 388 842 CE 070 238 AUTHOR Ripley, Paul TITLE Prison Education in England and Wales. (2nd Revised Edition). Mendip Papers MP 022. INSTITUTION Staff Coll., Bristol (England). PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. 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.

    Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and representatives from Staploe, Little Staughton, Colmworth and Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Councils on Wednesday 19th February 2020 at 2pm at Keysoe Village Hall, Keysoe Row West, Bedford MK44 2JE Present: Andrew Prigmore (Bedford Borough Council Highways Dept.), Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, Lucy Crawford (Clerk to Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Veronica Zwetsloot (Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Kevin Head (Little Staughton Parish Council), Cllr. Gordon Johnstone (Wyboston Parish Council), Cllr. Martina Perry (Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Council) and Cllr. Beverley Brightman (Colmworth Parish Council). Apologies: Gareth Turner (Bedford Borough Council Highways Department) 1. Consider the introduction of a 50mph limit on Bushmead Road All the parish councils represented supported the introduction of reduced speed limits on the Bushmead Road to a maximum of 50mph but KH suggested it should be 40mph in places. They recounted witnessing several nasty accidents on the road (one requiring an airlift to hospital). They also recounted many near misses some of which they believed were due to large HGV’s passing at speed when the road is not wide enough and cars being forced into the middle of the road by potholes. They acknowledged that recent repairs had improved the worst areas of the road but were concerned that some areas with failing patches had not been addressed. Andrew Prigmore explained that the worst areas had been repaired at a cost of approximately £70K but they had to choose the worst areas due to their limited budget. He reported that police data showed that none of the accidents on the road had been directly caused by excess speed.

  • Attendance Leave of Absence
    Website: www.HAST-Education.co.uk September 2014 Dear Parents/Carers Attendance: Leave of Absence We are writing to outline the new guidance from Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) regarding leave of absence for the purpose of family holidays during school term-time (August 2013) and the implementation of Fixed Penalty Notices (September 2014). Good attendance at school encourages good progress. Evidence shows that children with attendance below 90% made on average less than two-thirds of the annual progress made by pupils with attendance above 90%. Please be aware that there is no right or entitlement to term-time leave and any requests for such leave will not, as a rule, be granted. Any decision as to what constitutes ‘exceptional circumstances’ is at the discretion of the Headteacher. The following instances are offered as examples of what might reasonably be seen to constitute ‘exceptional circumstances’: A parent or other close relative of the child has a serious, life-threatening or terminal medical condition and it is believed that the holiday requested may be the last opportunity for the family to experience such an event; A parent is in the armed forces and is shortly due to be posted overseas to a known danger-spot, such as Afghanistan; The family is in an extreme state of crisis and it is considered that the holiday in question may help the family to avert or better deal with this crisis; Fixed Penalty Notices A Fixed Penalty Notice (£60 per parent/carer per child) may be issued when: A pupil is taken out of school during term-time for a holiday which has not been authorised by the school; A truancy patrol carried out by a School Attendance Officer has found a pupil absent from school and the absence has not been authorised by the school; Working with Central Bedfordshire Council Registered Office: c/o Harlington Upper School, Goswell End Road, Harlington, Dunstable, Bedfordshire.
