Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons

9:00 am

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

That would be exceptional. Our governors see the value of the education service that is provided to us and it would be an exception that the school officer post would be cut. It may happen on occasion and I can certainly give figures for when a school might have closed. The governor would try to protect the opening of the school on a daily basis to ensure that the significant number of offenders who engage in education can be facilitated, given that the teachers are on site and, as the Chairman mentioned, in a position to teach.
