We are delighted to announce the launch of 'Double Lockdown: Rebooting leadership in the Criminal Justice System and beyond'.

Inspired and funded by the Centre for Knowledge Equity, and delivered in partnership with LEx CJS Network leads of the Lived Experience Movement (LEx Movement) hosted by the Centre, this is a free online leadership programme for lived experience leaders* with direct, first-hand experience of the Criminal Justice System, who are working tirelessly across the entire social sector to support the communities they represent and serve.

Demonstrating a great need for support and development in the sector, the programme received an overwhelming number of applications from fantastic leaders working for a diverse range of organisations across the UK.

Starting this month, we are thrilled to be able to support 107 participants through this programme.

The programme was open to lived experience leaders* and prioritised people of colour, women and those working outside of London. We obtained 39.5% applications from people of colour, 45.5% from women, and 79.2% working outside of London.

-----------------------
*Lived experience leaders are those who have direct, first-hand experience, past or present, of the criminal ‘justice’ system and who have activated these experiences (often in combination with their practice and/or learned experience) to inform, shape and lead their social purpose work to directly benefit the communities they share those experiences with. For this programme we mean social leaders with criminal convictions, having experienced imprisonment, community sentences and experience of probation. We are aware that the term 'Criminal Justice System' does not necessarily reflect the experiences of a system that is often considered unjust. However, we have used it here due to its common use and understanding across the broader social sector. For further information, visit www.lexmovement.org.  

This programme is inspired and funded by, as well as co-designed and co-delivered with, the Centre for Knowledge Equity and Senior Leaders of the LEx Movement (Lived Experience Leaders Movement), which  has made it possible to deliver the programme free of charge.

The LEx CJS Network leads and Design team consists of an inspiring group of senior leaders with lived experience of the criminal justice system: Paula Harriott (Prison Reform Trust); Peter Atherton (Community Led Initiatives); Darren Murinas (Expert Citizens); Michaela Booth (Practice Plus Group); Peter Yarwood and Emma Daggers (Red Rose Recovery); Darren Davey (Second City Housing/Inner City Life) and Dr Craig Fletcher.
