Recommendation 35

35 Paragraph: 188

Publish strategy to address education data gaps for incarcerated women, ensuring public availability

Recommendation
It is clear that there is a gap in education data for women, which makes it difficult to provide education that meets the specific needs that women may present with. We do not know their educational needs, whether they have learning disabilities, and nor do we know their qualification levels, thus making it difficult to pitch education to women at the right level. The Ministry of Justice and HMPPS, alongside education providers, should set out how they are working to address this data gap and ensure that data is collected and made available publicly.
