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.
