Recommendation
We recommend that all prisoners have a personalised Individual Learning Plan linked to their sentence plan, created at the start of their time in prison. This should include the SEND assessment undertaken at their entry into the prison system. The Individual Learning Plan should be updated with their progression and development during their prison sentence.

Government Response Not Addressed
HM Government Not Addressed
We accept both recommendations. We are developing Personal Learning Plans in line with these recommendations. The new digital system we are designing will record initial assessments and record a learning plan to be followed throughout the sentence. This will also record progress and act as a formal record of learning which can be shared with employers. We will also introduce resettlement passports, which will be set up prior to release and will bring together the key information and services that an individual needs to resettle into society, such as bank accounts, CVs, and ID to prove right to work and rent. Education, Skills, and Work (ESW) information currently forms part of Offender Assessment System (OASys) sentence plans. We will ensure this data is consistent with the information included in personal learning plans.
