TRUSTEE
User Voice exists to reduce the harm caused by crime and punishment. We believe that the justice system can and should fundamentally change, so that people caught up in it can transform their lives, benefitting victims and increasing public safety. We do this through a range of peer consultations, research and prison councils together with service providers and commissioners.
We are now looking for up to four new Trustees to support future growth and the implementation of the new Strategic Plan.
