Unlocking potential; How offenders, former offenders and their families can contribute to a more effective Criminal Justice System
The Clinks Taskforce was set up to identify ways in which offenders, former offenders and their families can make a positive contribution to the policies, services and practices that affect them, both in prison and the community. It was formed in part because of recognition that in other fields of work, services are known to be more effective when users are consulted about how they should be developed and delivered.
This report is the outcome of the Taskforce’s deliberations. It does not claim to be a comprehensive overview of all of the work going on in this field. It is, however, the result of substantial consultation and includes examples of what the Taskforce considers to be good practice.
