I've written about why more small charities should campaign for big change. Reflecting on six years leading influencing at @Switchback_ldn, I learned being a small isn't a disadvantage โ€“ it's a strength. And more should enter the arena. https://t.co/vqPGk8TlOq #charity #policy

After 6 amazing years growing the influencing work at @Switchback_ldn I'll be moving on in April. While I'll miss the team hugely, this is an amazing opportunity for someone new to lead the comms, campaigns & policy at a truly pioneering justice charity: https://t.co/tIB28up1kf

Lots of us find Christmas difficult, but what about people in prison and their families? And how does it feel to be free this time around? Recent Switchback Trainees Adam, Romario, Danny & Tashan explain ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

(1/8) Last week the government promised this. But a Victorian justice policy isn't fit for the 21st century. Here's why.. ๐Ÿงต

(1/4) In response to this grim landmark, the government has pledged 20,000 new prison cells - the 'biggest expansion since Victorian times'. We can't keep doing the same thing and expecting different results..๐Ÿงต https://t.co/XskM8J1qbZ

1/3 This should matter to all of us: a lack of pre-release support is driving reoffending. As our work shows, with consistent 1-to-1 support a totally different future is possible. We urgently need a National Resettlement Plan to give people a real chance to thrive after prison.

Very concerning report from our two inspectorates - key working was supposed to be at the heart of the OMIC model, but we rarely see examples where prisoners are getting regular support from the same designated officer.

While the government's focus on drug security and treatment is important, we also need to address why people are turning to drugs in the first place. People in prison need "support, opportunities and hope for the future," says @samboyd1 ๐Ÿ‘‡
