Prison Education - Call for Partners

Weston College is intending to bid for the Prison Education Service to be established by the Ministry of Justice. The Service will facilitate the provision of comprehensive core education, vocational and specialist skills training to learners in a custodial environment across England.

Weston College, the current prime provider in the South West, has high aspirations for all its learners and is seeking like-minded partners who will enhance a learner’s journey whilst in custody, through the gate and on release, supporting outstanding learning, vocational, and specialist skills provision.

The procurement process is expected to start in September 2023.

The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Halo workplace logo

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
