    Under the Criminal Justice Department, I contribute to the Immediate Justice Project and Refocus Project, both designed to create meaningful, lasting change in our communities. In the Immediate Justice Project, I collaborate with restorative justice practitioners to address low-level criminal behaviour by promoting reparations in the community and tackling root causes such as trauma and personal history. This approach aims to reduce anti-social behaviour and strengthen community cohesion. Through the Refocus Project, I focus on early intervention and education for individuals at risk of committing low-level domestic abuse. By providing tailored support and guidance, I strive to interrupt harmful patterns and prevent escalation. Both projects highlight the power of proactive engagement, with referrals coming through Merseyside Police, ensuring a targeted and impactful response to pressing social issues. Let’s connect to discuss ways we can work together to promote safer and more inclusive communities.
