Students with a Criminal Justice History

It is well evidenced that people with criminal convictions are disproportionately drawn from groups which are under-represented in higher education. The Prison Education Taskforce, established in May 2023 aims to ensure greater alignment between prison education and the tertiary education system. This builds on the increased prioritisation and supports for students with a criminal justice history accessing higher education.
