Revolving Doors

🔄 What is the revolving door? Watch the first of our new short films, voiced by members and produced by expert animators @ticktockrobot, to find out what it means to be trapped in a cycle of crisis and crime - and why we're working to #BreakTheCycle. revolving-doors.org.uk/work-with-us/

Caroline, a member of the lived experience team at @RevDoors, has blogged for us to share how the Mental Health Treatment Requirement has played a pivotal role in her recovery and how it can be far more effective than a short-term prison sentence: magistrates-association.org.uk/blog/a-journey…

📚 We're very pleased to share this report. Commissioned by the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (@_yjb), it showcases examples of promising community-based practice to address racial disparity in the youth justice system. Read more ➡️ revolving-doors.org.uk/publications/a…

📻 Tune in to @BBCRadio4’s #FileOn4 to hear about the crisis in recalls, featuring Revolving Doors Policy Manager @Kelly_Grehan. Listen now on BBC Sounds or again on Radio 4 at 11am tomorrow ➡️ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Great day-trip to @LGAcomms Conference in Harrogate - thank you for asking me to be part of a packed session on neighbourhoods and tackling ASB and crime with @RevDoors. Always more to learn and share, thanks for all the questions and comments from the room too #LGAConf24

This evening I was privileged to feature in File on 4s programme about prison recalls on behalf of @RevDoors. Thank you @scatatkins for having me on. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@GypsyTravellers @BirkbeckUoL Thanks for sharing guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have you been involved in proceedings in the Family Court from 2021 onwards? @RevDoors are working with @BirkbeckUoL and want to hear from you to help create positive change! Get in touch 👇

Two-thirds of children in YOIs report being segregated, reports @HMIPrisonsnews - 76% at Cookham Wood. @TheHowardLeague's Andrea Coomber: 'It's unconscionable children are locked up for hours on end. Prison is no place for a child.’ Pic: @andyaitchison thejusticegap.com/scandal-of-you…

We have previously warned of the close link between homelessness and spiralling recall numbers. SDS40 was necessary to tackle the prisons crisis but without the right long-term support, many of those released cannot escape the cycle of crisis and crime. revolving-doors.org.uk/recalls-in-cri…

📢 We welcome this week's announcement from Justice Secretary @ShabanaMahmood about the need to review approaches taken towards female offending, and reduce the number of women going to prison. revolving-doors.org.uk/revolving-door…

It's good to see that ministers are considering earned early release from prison for participating in education. But there is no point incentivising people to participate in activities that are not available. The priority must be investment. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

This is good news and what so many of us have campaigned for over decades @WIP_live @Agenda_alliance @prisonadvice @RevDoors @OSTCharity 🙌🏼

👪 Earlier this year the government released the first estimate of the number of children with a parent in prison. In our latest blog we call for action to support children with a parent in prison and an end to the cycle of trauma, stigma and isolation ➡️ revolving-doors.org.uk/generational-c…

@Humankind_UK @ItsGroundswell @AmnestyUK Thank you to everyone who came along today! We’re sure you’ll agree it was a fascinating discussion. There were some very insightful points made and questions asked. Want to stay in the loop? 🔄 revolving-doors.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=56…

@Humankind_UK @ItsGroundswell @AmnestyUK We’re hearing about Manchester’s work to support women and girls, and about their multi-service hubs for people on probation that are shaped by feedback from service users and are helping to bring down reoffending.

💡Great start to our panel at #LabourConference2024 with opening remarks from Minister James Timpson.

Interesting discussion on using lived experience to shape policy at #Lab24 with @ItsGroundswell @RevDoors @JamesTCobbler @KateGreenSU. Lots of ideas for us at @EmmausUK as we shape policy on ending homelessness with those who have experienced it.

@Sam_Dalton_1 @ItsGroundswell @JamesTCobbler @KateGreenSU @EmmausUK So glad you enjoyed - lots of common ground between our organisations ⭐️

A great start to #Lab24 with this panel, organised by @RevDoors, on ‘Real Lives Driving Change: Using lived experience to shape policy’. Brilliant contributions from @JamesTCobbler, @DeputyMayorofGM, Ruth Kent @humankind, Steve Riley @RevDoors, James Dillon, Groundswell. Loads of great practical examples from the panel of the difference it makes when services and policy are designed with people with lived/living experience of the problems those services and policies are seeking to address. Including better services, better policy, better outcomes, improved lives and a growth in trust between people and organisations and growth in agency, participation, relationships and morale.

@evefrancisholt @JamesTCobbler @DeputyMayorofGM @humankind Thank you for coming along!

For those who attended the @ItsGroundswell @RevDoors @Humankind_UK @JamesTCobbler and heard Jamesy talk powerfully about the right to participation in action- here is the charter to end homelessness created by people with experience of homelessness that he is so proud of. #Lab24.
