Our criminal justice forums provide the opportunity to keep up to speed on new developments in the criminal justice system. They also provide the space for you to step back from your crucial day-to-day work to see the bigger picture and context in which you are working.
At this event, you will:
- Share good practice and network with other organisations working in your region
- Discuss the challenges and opportunities your organisation is currently facing
- Get an update on Clinks’ policy work across England & Wales.
Details of guest speakers will be added as they are confirmed.
About our criminal justice forums
Clinks holds quarterly criminal justice forums in the North East and North West of England, and Wales. The location of the forum within the region varies and we try, where possible, to move location regularly so that everyone has an opportunity to take part. Our forums are free for Clinks members and usually include guest speakers and members showcasing their work. If you can’t attend this forum, look out for future events on our website.
