Recommendations to the Review of Vulnerable Women in the Criminal Justice System (2007)

We welcomed the Corston Review and were pleased to have the opportunity to submit the Securing Safety conference recommendations.

These recommendations were developed in the context of a desire to better meet the needs of women offenders; some were developed more explicitly with the new Gender Equality Duty in mind. We submitted these recommendations specifically to address the issues of violence and abuse that women offenders have experienced in their lifetime.  We also suggested that the implementation of these recommendations will assist in reducing re-offending and are essential to meeting requirements under the Gender Equality Duty. .
