What are the enablers and barriers to an effective unpaid work scheme?

Background

We want to address the causes of reoffending using personalised evidence, live data, and digital services to better target and sequence interventions.

Next steps

We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.
