Using frontline expertise to influence policy | Clinks members - Nacro and Switchback

The voluntary sector working in criminal justice has extensive knowledge and experience that is a vital tool for effectively advocating and bringing about tangible changes in the criminal justice system.

This case study compliments an online recording of Nacro and Switchback's expert seminar delving into Nacro’s work on influencing resettlement policy, and Switchback’s approach to campaigning and influencing. Both reflect on the approaches they take to channel knowledge from the front-line within their organisations into impactful policy influencing and campaigns.

This work is part of Clinks’ Stronger voice project, a three-year project which aims to help the voluntary sector working in criminal justice develop a unified and influential voice, at both a national and regional level. The project is funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales, as part of their wider Criminal Justice Grant Programme. For more information about the programme please click here.
