Lincolnshire Women's Strategy

Lincolnshire Women's Strategy: Supporting Women and Girls at Risk of Entering the Criminal Justice System.
The Safer Lincolnshire Partnership has used a Ministry of Justice Women’s Community Sector Core Costs Funding Grant, awarded to Lincolnshire Action Trust, to create a new Lincolnshire Women’s Strategy to facilitate the delivery in Lincolnshire of the outcomes sought by the Ministry of Justice’s Female Offender Strategy 2018.
Work on developing this strategy was informed by the voices of four Lincolnshire women who had had experience of the criminal justice system and who generously told us their stories. They were interviewed confidentially by women academics from the University of Lincoln who then summarised those stories in a meeting of the Safer Lincolnshire Partnership’s sub-group formed to work on this strategy. Those stories were hard to listen to because of what sub-group members felt was the avoidable pain that the women, their families and friends had experienced.
