Advocate (Diversion)

Women in Prison’s advocates deliver high-quality, trauma-informed, independent advocacy for women in communities and in prisons. 

Which focuses on early intervention, and holistic provision as part of a ‘whole system’ multi-agency response that looks to address the root causes of women’s offending.  

The Diversion programme launched in July 2019 and funded by MOPAC (Mayor’s Office for Policing & Crime). 

This pilot will drive multi-agency working between the police, Voluntary Community Sector (VCS) service providers and other statutory partners and is part of a wider programme of work to develop a whole system approach to identifying and addressing the needs of women involved in the criminal justice system in London.  

The purpose of the project is to integrate a short-term, holistic package of support for women with an out of court disposal, to improve outcomes and offer a robust alternative to prosecution through the courts.
