With Stephen Seligman, DMH

Saturday, 10 June 2023

Venue: The Resource for London

We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated conference, "The Role of the Third Sector in the Criminal Justice System," which will bring together an esteemed gathering of professionals, academics, activists, and policymakers. This groundbreaking event aims to explore the pivotal role of the third sector in the criminal justice system and delve into innovative approaches for fostering positive change.

This conference will serve as a platform to exchange knowledge, insights, and best practices in harnessing the potential of the third sector. Through interactive panel discussions, engaging workshops, and thought-provoking keynote speeches, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the third sector's multifaceted impact on crime prevention, offender rehabilitation, victim support, and community reintegration.

Journey to Justice presents The Long Shadow of Class: understanding inequality and galvanising change, a new film designed to be used by a wide range of audiences.

During Eradication of Poverty Week (17-23 October, 2022), our timely film will be launched in London on Tuesday 18th October at Resource for London.

Our film considers the crucial role class and education in the UK play in creating an economically unjust society. It explores the lenses through which we view each other. 

Experts in their field from very different backgrounds discuss unequal opportunities, accent bias, the markers and stigma of poverty and the devastating effects of our current economic model.

Each also offers ideas aimed at galvanising people to act for economic justice.

Our six explainers highlight the need for those with lived experience to be at the forefront of policy decisions. They suggest how to effect change and inspire us all to develop a more just society.

The film forms part of a unique, rich resource created by Journey to Justice exploring the impact of economic injustice and how we can all challenge it. Our mission is to galvanise people to take action for social and economic justice through learning about human rights movements and the arts. We have a wealth of resources on a variety of topics, including anti-racist education, disability rights and the link between the environmental and economic justice.

Tickets available: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-shadow-of-class-understanding-inequality-and-galvanising-change-tickets-408553302927

The film features:

Shahajahan Ali (or Badgie Ali) a parent and teacher from South London;

Professor Sam Friedman Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics;

Dr. Elizabeth Henry a consultant/ advisor/ activist/ campaigner and speaker, she was previously the National Adviser on race and equality issues at the Church of England;

Susie Morrow started life as one of six children of an Anglo-Irish family in Newcastle upon Tyne. In 2021 and 2022, Susie was short-listed as one of the most influential women in tech in the UK; 

Deb Neville a working class woman, mother, a grandmother and a mental health social worker; and

Dr. Ben Tippet a researcher working in the department of European and International Studies on the Leverhulme-funded project ‘The Political Economy of Growth Models in an Age of Stagnation’.

Organised by the Association for Learning Technology and Co-Chaired by the Global OER Graduate Network, this year’s 13th annual conference for Open Education research, practice and policy will be the first hybrid edition of this much-loved event. The programme will feature speakers from across sectors and bring together experts to discuss the most urgent questions facing institutions and individuals as they scale up the use of technology for learning, teaching and assessment. The conference will put the spotlight on both the value and limitations of Open Education in a (post)pandemic world.

This is a training event which will cover how and why organisations can use video in their communications. The event is for up to 30 attendees, primarily from small charities working in London. However, if you are from a larger charity or not based in London but your work still benefits communities in London, you are still eligible to take part.

These sessions will assist smaller organisations with campaign strategy when video expertise can be something that boards would love small charities to use but where the relevant skills aren’t always readily available in-house. It’s an opportunity to bring a particular problem you’re grappling with and will suggest creative processes to build into your communication strategies.

What next for EU citizens and their family members post-Brexit?

EU citizens and their family members will lose their current rights to reside in the UK after Brexit. Those who want to stay in the UK must apply for a new immigration status to allow them to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021 (or 31 December 2020 in a ‘no deal’ scenario).

There are an estimated 3.5 million EU citizens and their family members living in the UK, all of whom will need to make an application to the Home Office’s new ‘EU Settlement Scheme’ to continue living in the UK. The EU Settlement Scheme opened on 30 March 2019 and more than a million people have so far applied.

This free training seminar will provide you with the knowledge to support EU citizens and their family members who are victims of gender-based abuse secure the immigration status they need to continue living in the UK.

In this session you will learn about:

• the EU Settlement Scheme including who must apply and how;

• how new immigration status under the EU Settlement Scheme affects entitlement to benefits;

• how you can provide practical support to women who need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme;

• what is regulated immigration advice and how to help women access it;

• where you can signpost or refer women who need help with the EU Settlement Scheme.

Who should attend? This seminar is open to non-legal professionals working in England & Wales on violence against women and girls (VAWG) issues from the community, voluntary and statutory sectors including refuge workers, outreach workers, IDVAs and ISVAs. Professionals who attend should be providing or likely to provide free support to women who are EU citizens or their family members and who have been affected by VAWG.

Trainer: Nicole Masri, Immigration Solicitor, Rights of Women
