Abstract	The Prisoners' Education Trust is working on a "learner voice" initiative that seeks to involve learners more in the development of prison education, helping them to express their views and helping providers to respond to them. Evaluation is an issue of increasing importance, for charities as well as public funders. Everyone agrees it's important, but it's not so easy to decide how to do it appropriately--in other words, to measure what should be measured rather than what is easy to measure. In the case of offender learning, there are thorny issues to be confronted when deciding on what is appropriate in terms of evaluation. One is how much to focus on what the learners achieve in the way of learning, as distinct from what effect the learning has on their rehabilitation. The author believes that offender learning can be transformational, but evaluating the work can be tricky, particularly when it comes to tracking ex-offenders in the wider world they encounter on release.
