Covid-19 and justice interview series
In this interview series, we spoke to a range of individuals working in different parts of the justice system about how COVID-19 has affected their work, and the impact that it has had on the communities and individuals they support. The interviewees share examples of innovation that they have witnessed in response to the pandemic, as well as their hopes for which changes will become business as usual, and their thoughts on what they would like to see happen in the coming months.
