TOGETHER WE CAN END THE REVOLVING DOOR
Putting people at the heart of the solution
Those who have faced the cycle of personal crisis and crime are now helping us to change our country’s services for the better.
THE REVOLVING DOOR
PEOPLE FACE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS
These can include substance misuse, mental health problems, domestic or sexual violence, homelessness and frequent contact with the police and the criminal justice system. Often people are failed by the system leaving them feeling ignored or abandoned, which can trigger their cycle of crisis and crime all over again.
WE RESEARCH AND PROPOSE SOLUTIONS
We work closely with people who have personally suffered as a result of the system’s failings –people who are Experts by Experience. Their unique insights help us to recommend ways to improve the system that decision makers listen to and implement because they are practical and evidence shows that they work.
AN END TO THE REVOLVING DOOR
More people will live in communities that support their efforts to achieve recovery from multiple complex problems and escape from crime. They’ll have the opportunity to turn their lives around, becoming active citizens and moving into volunteering, mentoring and sustainable employment. In turn this will improve their life prospects and ability to build rewarding relationships.

INVOLVING SERVICE USERS
People with multiple complex problems who have been failed by the system work closely with us to create solutions.
INFLUENCING POLICY AND SERVICES
We’re not only leading the national debate for reform but also providing practical, evidence-based solutions.
SUPPORTING BETTER SERVICES
Lives of those in the revolving door can be transformed by evaluations using our Action Research approach.
Latest
A new essay collection, kindly supported by Lankelly Chase, that explores the knots between poverty, trauma and multiple disadvantage and how we, as service providers, policymakers, researchers and people with lived experience, can better make sense of and start to untangle these knots.
Our new research shows that young adults and the wider public want to see police reform. Young adults want their health and human needs to be prioritised so that they do not unnecessarily get dragged into the criminal justice system.
