question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what training teachers preparing to work in prisons receive beyond their teaching qualification.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2016 answer text <p>In the majority of adult prisons in England education is delivered by Skills Funding Agency (SFA) Offender Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) providers. Individuals wishing to be employed by OLASS providers to teach in prisons should meet the same standards as those preparing to teach SFA funded provision in the learning and skills sector in England.</p><p>In addition, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills grant funds the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) to deliver a specific programme of work to support teaching and learning in prisons, this includes activity to support the professional development of OLASS teachers. In 2016-17 we made available £0.6m to the ETF.</p><p>Training such as in health and safety is the responsibility of the Prison Governor and is arranged locally for OLASS staff by individual prisons.</p><p>There are also a number of privately managed prisons where the operator is responsible for providing education under their contract with the National Offender Management Service. The Directors of those prisons ensure that, beyond their teaching qualifications, teachers will attend a training course varying between three days and one week, depending on which prison they work at. This training is aimed at preparing them to work in the prison environment. A number of these prisons operate a further period where the new starter will observe and shadow existing staff, usually lasting two weeks.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 08/07/2016 11:27:50 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
