About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

This powerful AQA-led conference is about more than education it’s about unlocking potential in places most people overlook. Bringing together decision-makers and changemakers from across the prison estate. The event will showcase the AQA Unit Award Scheme with its transformative potential as a flexible and inclusive way to recognise achievement and spark transformation from within.

Adz Khan, My Kind of Criminal, will be sharing his journey from life sentence to keynote speaker, business owner, and mentor to show the undeniable power of education behind the gate. This isn’t just theory, it's lived experience. It’s a reminder that real change starts when people are given something to believe in and someone who believes in them.

This day isn’t just a conference it’s an experience. Attendees will enjoy breakfast on arrival, lunch in the afternoon, engaging networking opportunities, a powerful keynote seminar, and a thought-provoking panel discussion with lived experience at its heart.

The message is simple: Education doesn’t just change someone’s CV it changes who they believe they can become.

We’re not just offering certificates we’re offering hope, belief, pride and progression. And with the right tools and the right mindset, that’s enough to rewrite anyone’s future.
