Ms Anne Costello:

A number of issues were raised about employment for people with criminal convictions. In the UK it has been shown that people with convictions are very good, loyal employees. In the UK, companies have gone into prisons, met prisoners, done training with them in prison and then they have gone straight into jobs when they came out because they met them as people. That is the kind of initiative we need to take.

A number of Travellers have told me that prison was their first positive experience of learning in either the education or the training centres. They have such a negative experience of education in schools that they were reluctant to go to the school in the prisons but when they did, many of them were pleasantly surprised that it was a different approach and a different attitude. It is so important that we do more while we have a captive audience with men in particular. A number of them raise issues around the type of skills they are interested in and the jobs market. We could do an awful lot more to match people up with their interest and skills and get them the training in prison to access the jobs when they come out.

Did Deputy Ellis ask me another question? I am trying to remember what he asked.
