Updated 20 April 2020

There I was, on 29 February 2020, with around 20 Quaker prison chaplains and other Friends who work in the field of criminal justice, at the Quakers in Criminal Justice conference.

Crunch time for Policing Bill

Updated 6 December 2021

The Policing Bill is a massive piece of legislation that includes many measures that go against Quaker values.
