Our lecture for 2022-23 is just opening where we’ll hear from Professor Rosie Meek and her take on the importance of sport, education and rehabilitation in our prisons #PortalLecture @BayesBSchool #PrisonerEducation #London

We're excited to be able to announce that Baroness Floella Benjamin OM DBE DL has kindly agreed to deliver the next #PortalLecture at @BayesBSchool in Autumn 2023. Thank you @FloellaBenjamin, we're really looking forward to working with you!. More details will be announced soon.

The QandA session is now underway at @DrRosieMeek's Portal Trust Education lecture. Questions about the particular challenges for women and girls in prisons, the range of sports provided, and the current funding gaps in prison education. #PortalLecture

Professor Rosie Meek begins her lecture with gratitude that some members of this evening's audience have experience of being imprisoned or working in prisons. It costs more to send a young person to prison than it would to send them to Eton College. #PortalLecture
