Clinks events and training
July 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 part of a well-connected network.
If you have any ideas of events and training that would benefit you / your organisation, please do contact us at events@clinks.org.
Come along to one of our upcoming events to stay connected, learn something new and work together for a better criminal justice system.
All England criminal justice forum
10:00, 4 July | online | free
Our All 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.
All Wales criminal justice forum
10:00, 11 July | online | free
Our All Wales criminal justice forums bring together partners working across Wales in the criminal justice system. The forums will be held quarterly, providing an opportunity for people working in the criminal justice system to find out about latest government policy developments impacting organisations working in Wales.
These events also provide the space to network with other organisations, discuss opportunities for joint working and offer each other peer support. They are also an opportunity for Clinks’ members and partners to showcase their work.
The All Wales criminal justice forum is open to all organisations working in the criminal justice system in Wales. Book your place here.
HMPPS Regional Third Sector Stakeholder Event
14:00, 12 July | online | free
HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) Third Sector Partnerships and Programmes Team, in partnership with Clinks, have organised a series of events to gather feedback on the organisation-wide Third Sector Partnership Approach.
The approach provides a guiding set of principles to strengthen and maximise the department’s engagement with the Third Sector to highlight and raise the profile of the valuable services the Third Sector provides across England and Wales.
The events will also provide an opportunity to engage with regional HMPPS colleagues, and hear about the upcoming Innovation Grants programme.
This online event is aimed at anybody who was/is unable to make the in-person events that were running through May, June and July. HMPPS is keen to hear views from small and specialist organisations and we encourage their attendance at this event. Book your place here.
Navigating the criminal justice system workshop
10:00, 13 July | online | from £50
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 various 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. Book your place here.
