PAS Self Help Toolkits
In 2013, the cuts to Legal Aid significantly reduced the number of solicitors practising Prison Law. In response to this – and with the vital support of The Legal Education Foundation – PAS created a range of Self Help Toolkits for prisoners to help them undertake some legal processes by themselves. Easy-read versions of the kits are also available, aimed at those with low literacy levels, English as a second language or learning disabilities (see below).
- The list of areas addressed by the Toolkits is as follows:
Categorisation Self Help Toolkit
Closed and Banned Visits Self Help Toolkit
Governors’ Adjudications Self Help Toolkit
Home Detention Curfew Self Help Toolkit
Mother and Baby Units Self Help Toolkit
Parole Board Delay Self Help Toolkit
Pre Tariff Review Self Help Toolkit
