The Stu Fisher POA Learning Centre
|
The Learning Centre at HMP Norwich was first opened on the 14th march 2005. It is situated at the rear of the staff mess, has full disabled access and is outside of the two secure complexes at Norwich, so is open for all staff and family members. The Centre Manager is Patrick Setters a serving prison officer who is seconded to the POA for three days a week and has been granted permission from his Prison Governor to work in the centre for the two days he is in the employ of the Prison Service. This is an important point to make as it shows the commitment that HMP Norwich is making to the setting up and continued success of the overall project. Patrick is assisted by Dave Barber who is employed as Learner Support. Dave is not a Prison Officer but has had many years experience teaching Adults The centre can provide support and tutoring for essential skills in Numeracy, Literacy and I.T. all up to Level 2. At present the prospectus of courses available through the centre are as follows. Foundation Level One in Exercise Studies. Assessment and tutoring in Numeracy and Literacy.

A range of language courses should soon be available which will include British Sign Language.
