The identification of prisoners with dyslexia and the provision of additional support is an important theme in the Learning and Skills Council's recent publication, "Developing the Offender Learning and Skills Service: The Prospectus". The LSC publication incorporates the findings of the Prison Reform Trust research on learning disabilities, "No-one Knows", published last year. Appropriate assessments and the provision of additional support are an important part of increasing prisoners' employability on release which in turn is a key factor in reducing re-offending.
