Custodial Provision
Learning within establishments
The Curriculum offered is wide ranging, including vocational training in a range of subjects including Motor Cycle, Catering & Hospitality, Construction Skills, and Barbering.
In addition to this, in all prisons KCC offer a range of courses from Entry to Level 2 in Arts, Media, IT, Literacy, Numeracy and Employability and Life-skills programmes. We also deliver discreet Literacy and Numeracy programmes in all prisons and embed this provision within our own vocational delivery and the prison employment opportunities offered within custody.
