Have your say on what Clinks Thinks

About this survey

We want our policy and influencing work to accurately reflect the experiences of voluntary organisations working in criminal justice.

If you’re a voluntary organisation working with people in the criminal justice system, you can help us do this by telling us which policy areas have the most impact on your organisation’s work and the people you support.

In 2017, we published Clinks Thinks which sets out the core principles which inform our influencing work based on key issues raised by the sector. Since its publication, the policy landscape and operating environment has changed dramatically, so we are reviewing our priorities and positions.

This survey will ask about your policy priorities, how they impact on the people you support, and how they impact the delivery of your services.

It takes 5-10 minutes to complete
The survey is open for two weeks until Thursday 10th December
For more details about this survey, please read our recent blog.

IMPLEMENT A DISTINCT APPROACH FOR WOMEN Clinks thinks a cross-departmental strategy for women and girls, led by the Ministry of Justice, should ensure that women are diverted away from the criminal justice system at the earliest opportunity. To do this we need to increase the use of gender-specific community sentences and make sure we invest in specialist voluntary organisations including women’s centres.

TACKLE RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION Clinks thinks all sectors working in criminal justice must work to tackle racism and discrimination by ensuring that they are using evidence and examples of good practice to meet the needs of BAME people.

PREVENT THE IMPRISONMENT OF CHILDREN Clinks thinks the youth justice system needs to remain focussed on reducing the use of custody, increasing the use of early intervention and diversion, and provide a locally-owned and multi-agency approach to all services. A national strategy needs to be produced and published to both address the causes of over-representation of BAME young people in the youth justice system, and address the reasons why reducing a youth custody approach has failed this group.

DELIVER A DISTINCT APPROACH FOR YOUNG ADULTS Clinks thinks the Ministry of Justice should utilise the evidence gathered by the Transition to Adulthood Alliance to produce a national strategy for the management of young adults aged 18-25 at all stages of the criminal justice system (as recommended by the Justice Select Committee).

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer these questions.

Your responses will help us to ensure that our policy and influencing work is advocating for the issues that matter most to the voluntary sector working in the criminal justice system.

This is just the first stage of a wider programme to consult you on our policy work. Following this, we will continue to work with the sector to refine our policy messages. Watch out for updates in our Light Lunch ebulletin.

If you have any questions about this work, please contact sophie.campion@clinks.org.
