Education Programme
Clean Break has a track record, over 15 years, of delivering high quality
arts education and training for women with experience of the criminal justice
system and women at risk of offending due to drug and alcohol use and/or mental health needs.
In this section you can find out about the different aspects of our education
work.This includes our education and training programme at our centre in North
London. The programme enables over 70 women every year to develop confidence
and gain creative skills and qualifications in a women-only space with a highly
skilled and experienced staff team together with comprehensive support. It
also includes off-site activities where we regularly work in partnership with
women’s prison resettlement units and education departments, regionally
and nationally, and provide a range of tailor-made arts education projects
to support women moving forward and making positive life choices.
We run training events for professionals working with women offenders and
for artists and students wishing to develop their skills in this area.
All our work is evaluated to ensure that feedback from staff and participants
contributes to the future direction of the work. We have recently been involved
in a national research project (REACTT) to measure the impact of the arts
on offending behaviour. The findings of this research will assist us in further
developing our education work to best meet the needs of the women we serve.
