Justice should heal as much as it punishes, creating safer communities for all. At User Voice, our purpose is to change minds, transform lives and build a better justice system.
Working with people with convictions to support and develop their confidence, skills and mindsets. They then deliver our programmes to many more people who are impacted by the criminal justice system.
These programmes include:
80% of our staff have convictions, meaning we’ve been there – in court, in prison, or on probation – we own our own pasts, so we understand the challenges first hand and use our own lived expertise to inform everything we do.
We currently work in 40 prisons across the Midlands, London, the North and East regions with around 1,000 people a month.
The content of our work includes 6 Prison Councils and regular consultations and focus groups in Sodexo run prisons, Peer Research contracts with the NHS England Health and Justice stream supporting the drive for improved healthcare across prisons and probation, insights work with young people in a Transitions Hub in Newham funded by Mopac, a range of Probation Inspectorate thematics looking at areas including Unpaid work schemes, Young Adults on Probation, a partnership with the University of Kent and the National Police Chief’s Council on Police Drug Diversion Schemes, work with Clinks on Social prescribing and investigating methadone alternatives with the NHS.
