Welcome to our website. Clinks was established in 1998 to strengthen and develop the
partnerships between voluntary and community-based organisations and the Prison and
Probation Services in England and Wales. This continues to be the basis of our work
with an additional strand that now focuses on developments relating to the introduction
of the National Offender Management Service.
This website will tell you more about what we do and the different services that we
provide. We have developed a diverse network of agencies that contribute to rehabilitating
offenders and building safer and inclusive communities. If your organisation provides
services to offenders and/or their families we would like to hear from you.
Our work includes national policy development as well as regional and local partnership
work. We are always very happy to talk through issues and share our knowledge and
experience of building relationships between agencies.
If you are a member of Clinks, or a prospective member, or are interested in this
field of work, we look forward to hearing from you.
