So many ways to make learning more rewarding
Encouraging offenders that are in your care to enjoy learning is one of the many challenges you face everyday. With The Offenders' Learning and Skills Service now a nationwide standard, and targets for referrals to the LSC increased, the pressure you're under is now higher than ever. Giving ex-offenders access to books they can choose themselves and read in their own time could help with their motivation and rehabilitation and help you hit referral targets.
Books are a great resource for opening people's minds to learning. No matter what their interests, there's sure to be a book to suit them. As more than 3,000 outlets in the UK accept
National Book Tokens, from national chain stores to small independents, wherever in the country ex-offenders live, they can choose a book they'll love and learn from. Your budget will go further too, with discounts available when you buy in bulk.
Probation Services that have introduced National Book Tokens as part of a 'Skills for Life' programme have found this to be an effective way of promoting life-long learning.
London Probation is just one of the services to see the benefits of National Book Tokens. |
