The report of the external evaluation of Connect42’s Just Time program at Risdon Prison has been released. Delivered by experienced speech-language pathologists, Just Time uses the Circle of Security Parent DVD Program® as its central tool.

The evaluators concluded:

“This is an excellent program that provides hope, skills and capacity to a particularly vulnerable population. The program is well supported within the prison system by all the key stakeholders and, while there is always room for improvement, it has a demonstrated positive effect on participants. It is an intervention that is making a difference, within an environment that is generally difficult when it comes to the successful delivery of potentially life changing programs.”

The Tasmanian #100PercentLiteracy Alliance Road Map to a Literate Tasmania calls on the Tasmanian Government to lead and prioritise the development and implementation of a plan to improve literacy for ALL Tasmanians.
