We give a voice to the people in the criminal justice system. Through their ideas we deliver change.

We were created by and are run by people who have been in prison and on probation. Lived experience means we engage empathetically instead of sympathetically.

We exist to reduce offending by working with the most marginalised people in and around the criminal justice system to make sure that practitioners and policy-makers hear their voices.

Lived experience means we can ask questions others can’t,
Get answers others can’t, to make THE changes people need.

Our tESTIMONALS

"Being on the National Council means so much to me. Meeting and being part of a group of people that share the same values and a determination to make a difference to society!"

"I liked what User Voice does; trying to improve the system. I wanted to hear people's lived experience, their first hand experience, these voices are often overlooked."

"What really piqued my interest is the fact User Voice gives people in prison the opportunity to have their voices heard."
