STRENGTHENING THE VOICE OF THE BME SECTOR

"We are shocked by the increasing numbers of Black and Minority Ethnic Offenders in the Criminal Justice System and the consistent failure to address their needs. We have therefore formed a strategic alliance with the National Body of Black Prisoner Support Groups and are developing a network of other infra-structure organisations such as BTEG (Black Training and Enterprise Group) and Voice4Change. This network includes front line delivery agencies as well, such as NACRO and PLIAS Resettlement". Clinks. For more information, please contact us.
