SPEAKER EVENT - OPEN TO ALL
Wednesday 17th February 18:00-18:30

We are delighted to announce our first speaker of the year, Keith Gardner from Community Justice Scotland.

Community Justice Scotland focuses on reducing offending and further offending by addressing the needs of people affected by the justice system. It is founded on the belief that most crime is preventable, and that it can be managed in a positive way, which benefits communities and allows them to move on from harm caused. They have a duty to influence and enable reform by working closely with the Scottish Government, the courts and law enforcement agencies.

Keith Gardner is Head of Analysis and Improvement at Community Justice Scotland. Before working at the organisation, Keith was a registered mental health nurse, prison social worker and criminal justice manager. His motivation remains the same as throughout his career in justice: working with people who make a difference to those whose lives have been affected by involvement with the criminal justice system in Scotland.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Keith Gardner is Head of Analysis and Improvement at Community Justice Scotland.
