Community Justice Interventions Wales

“The majority of offenders come from deprived backgrounds and have poor literacy and numeracy skills. Developing these skills means a better quality of life, while becoming both accepted by and a valuable part of the community.”

Chris Hughes, Policy Team Leader, Department for Children, Education, Lifelong learning and Skills

Open College Network

Our successful partnership with YMCA Community College continues to develop with an extensive range of OCN units available to participants wishing to return to learning.  OCN accreditation is a cross-cutting theme across all of our interventions and many students follow the progression route from Award to Certificate to Diploma.  CJIW’s staff are fully qualified at the industry-standard City and Guilds 7303 Train the Trainer qualification.  Over 2,400 OCNs will be delivered in 2010/11.
