Leaders Unlocked has been working in the Criminal Justice sector since 2016. Our work gives young adults and service users a stronger voice on criminal justice reform at the national level.

"We’ve been involved in peer engagement work with Leaders Unlocked. The young leaders we worked with engaged with over 100 service users in custody. We have been so impressed with the work. We are engaging with the young adults as colleagues, and the fact that they are former service users is almost secondary. The most important thing is the high quality work they are delivering."
