Clinks events and training
January 2023
Clinks runs events and training for voluntary organisations working in the criminal justice system. We hear time and time again that organisations feel stronger alongside others and enjoy being a part of a well-connected network. Come along to one of our upcoming events to stay connected, learn something new and work together for a better criminal justice system.
Procedural justice in the courts: what the evidence tell us
14:00, 16 January | online | free
Dr Amy Kirby and Professor Jessica Jacobson will discuss the latest evidence for procedural justice in the courts. This is the seventh in our “A matter of fact: what the evidence tells us” series, to accompany our Evidence Library, giving you the chance to ask your own questions of leading academics talking about the latest research on an important criminal justice topic. Amy and Jessica have summarised the evidence base for procedural justice in the courts, starting by explaining what procedural justice is and why it matters, in a review for our Evidence Library, which you can read here: Procedural justice in the courts.

Navigating the criminal justice system

Are you new to working or volunteering in the criminal justice system? Do you have volunteers or staff members who want to increase their understanding of the criminal justice system? Join us at this three-hour workshop for voluntary sector staff and volunteers in which we aim to increase awareness of and provide the opportunity to explore and discuss how the criminal justice system is organised, the complexities within it, and how it works. The workshop will explore the different elements of, and the varies structures within, the criminal justice system, including government departments, regional and local statutory agencies, and the role of the voluntary sector, the services they provide and its work in supporting people.

All England criminal justice forum

Our England criminal justice forums aim to bring together partners working across the criminal justice system. These forums provide an opportunity for people to hear about current and future developments and discuss policy and practice affecting their day-to-day work. Often themed around a current issue, the forums also provide the space to share good practice, network with other organisations, discuss the opportunities and challenges your organisation is currently facing and encourage shared learning and peer support. They are also an opportunity for Clinks’ members and partners to showcase their work. Forums are open to all organisations in England working in the criminal justice system. Book your place here.

This special meeting will be a joint one, with members of the Clinks Race and Justice network and Women’s network coming together to discuss the intersection of race and gender for people in the criminal justice system.

We will hear updates from partners who worked on the Double Disadvantage Action Plan for ending inequality for Black, Asian, minoritised and migrant women in the criminal justice system. A speaker from the Ministry of Justice will share information about the work being done by the “Female Offender Minority Ethnic Working Group”, and we will get a policy update from Clinks and Agenda. The meeting will also include an opportunity for members to network and share ways of developing anti-racist practice. Please join us to share your experiences. Book your place here.
