Member comments
The coalition government's announcement to scale back the BSF programme will devastate parents and schools and condemn thousands of children and young people to a future of Dickensian education.
The Building Schools for the Future transformed over 4,000 schools in a way not witnessed since the Victorian era.
The refusal of the government to come clean about which schools will be rebuilt or refurbished and which will not demonstrates a cruel and unjustified level of arrogance.
Chris Keates, NASUWT
We at Chance UK support Ken Clarke's intention to publish a full review of sentencing policy to prioritise preventing crime.
Our evidence and that of Featherstone and Evans, Barrett, Lock and Farrell et al clearly points to early intervention preventative programmes like Chance UK being far cheaper and more effective than interventions taking place after convictions.
If the coalition government is serious about reducing prison numbers and reducing the budget deficit, preventing people committing crimes in the first place through cheaper interventions like our innovative mentoring model must form a central part of the review.
