Common Ground Justice speaks at The Conduit on trust in the justice system
The Common Ground Justice Project took part in a panel discussion at The Conduit, in partnership with the Prison Reform Trust, exploring public attitudes to justice reform.
The discussion focused on declining trust in the justice system and its wider impact. Drawing on our research, the panel highlighted how many people feel the system is not working as it should, with victims in particular often feeling unheard or excluded from the process.
“There is a growing sense that the justice system does not serve victims as it should, and that loss of trust feeds into a wider loss of confidence in institutions.” – Alice Dawnay, Co-Founder, Common Ground Justice Project
The conversation also addressed how this loss of trust can leave people feeling powerless and ignored, and the risks this creates for public confidence and cohesion.
“At Common Ground Justice, we believe rebuilding trust starts with listening more carefully to people’s experiences and focusing on solutions that deliver both accountability and effective reform.” – Alice Dawnay, Co-Founder, Common Ground Justice Project
The event forms part of our ongoing work to understand public attitudes and identify areas of common ground across divides.
