Criminal Justice Champions

Criminal Justice Champions

CLI’s directors Peter Atherton and Matthew Kidd were overwhelmed when it was announced they had won the Howard League for Penal Reform’s inaugural “criminal justice champion” award. The Howard League is a national charity working for less crime, safer communities and fewer people in prison. Peter and Matthew won their award based on the fact that CLI are:

• Rehabilitative and help to prevent further offending
• Identify risk and offer a package of support and interventions
• Offer a programme tailored to individual needs
• Service users are involved in shaping the work
• Have strong partnerships
• Work with the local community
