13 October 2008
The Ministry of Justice and the National Offender Management Service have announced their commitment to further improve partnership work with the voluntary and community sector.
Published today (13 October 2008), the paper 'Working with the third sector to reduce reoffending 2008-2011' is based on the feedback from a public consultation held with third sector organisations earlier this year.
The document supports the recently-published Ministry of Justice third sector strategy, and will underpin future work with third sector organisations, including support for the government commitment to Baroness Neuberger's review of volunteering across the criminal justice system.
The Ministry of Justice has also published two research papers that add to the evidence base about what works to reduce reoffending, along with government responses to government consultations on working with partner organisations to reduce reoffending.
