Criminal Justice Champions Event
Clinks and NAVCA, funded by the Ministry of Justice, are working together to enable a series of events at which good practice and innovative approaches to local partnership working in the Criminal Justice System (CJS) will be shared at an event hosted by a local infrastructure organisation (LIO), with participants invited from the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and statutory CJS agencies.
South London CVS Partnership is hosting an event on Friday 23 March at Croydon Resource Centre, working with our partners from Croydon Voluntary Action. The event will:
Who should attend?
The audience will be invited from the local infrastructure organisations and their CJS agency partners*, some of whom will already work jointly to deliver projects. Others will be looking for ideas and useful experience that supports joint working and better engagement. Of these, one organisation will receive a small grant to produce a case study of work they do following the seminar, which will form part of the final report produced by Clinks and NAVCA. For more information on the case study please download an information sheet. Those attending should be decision-makers/influencers such as CEO or deputy.
To nominate CJS guests, please send contact details to Helen@slcvspartnership.org.uk.
After an introductory session on changes in the Criminal Justice System and how these are affecting the VCS, there will be four 30 minute sessions during the morning, in which organisations representing CJS partnerships have the opportunity to present on their work. For example, hosts Croydon Voluntary Action and Croydon Probation Service will jointly present on their New Routes project.
There will be an opportunity to exhibit and bring leaflets to support networking and information exchange for display at the venue, and a networking lunch will be provided.
