This is our annual report. Given the longstanding instability apparent throughout both the prison and probation systems, the role of the voluntary sector as a guarantor of essential support is as important as ever. Our role remains to ensure that statutory bodies both understand and acknowledge this role, as well as supporting the sector to navigate the complexities of an ever-evolving system. We have done so by consistently communicating and platforming the work of the sector in our engagement with officials, leveraging the sector’s expertise for input into seminal reviews such as the Independent Sentencing Review, and with a particular focus on small, specialist organisations. We will always remain dedicated to this role as the sector’s champion, focused on increasing the understanding of its role within the criminal justice system.
