Centre for Education and Criminal Justice
The Oswin project offers second chances to people through mentoring, training and employment.
In this event, the audience can gain valuable insight into the implementation of a project that supports prisoners and prison leavers, and how to measure the effect of the project on reducing reoffending.
This online event will be particularly useful for those interested in education and criminology.
'Blue-Sky Thinking' Seminar Series on Education and Criminal Justice
The series aims to re-establish the Centre for Education and Criminal Justice as the knowledge exchange hub for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to collaborate on collecting, improving, and disseminating the best and most promising evidence and practice in the field and internationally. It gives researchers and practitioners a space to discuss the 'blue-sky thinking' in education and criminal justice that is much needed in the current system.
