Clinks events and training
October 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
10:30, 5 October | online | free
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
