For more information about events, or to request an invoice, please contact events@clinks.org.

These events will give organisations the opportunity to hear the latest national developments in criminal justice, and offer you the chance to use your experiences to inform Clinks’ national policy work. The forums allow you to step back from your crucial day-to-day front-line work to see the bigger picture and context in which you are working.

These events will include updates from Clinks' policy team on:

  • The Ministry of Justice's review of probation services
  • Clinks’ State of the sector report 2018
  • The Farmer Review into supporting family ties for women in contact with the criminal justice system
  • The Rough Sleepers Strategy proposals around improving accommodation on release from prison
  • The NHS’ recently published long term plan and commitments relating to the criminal justice system.

There will also be an opportunity to showcase work from the voluntary sector. If you would like to showcase a project at the event, please contact your Area Development Officer or events@clinks.org

As always, you will also be able to update Clinks on key challenges you are facing and network with other organisations in the region.

This event is also happening in Preston, Leeds and Colwyn Bay
