Policy

PRT seeks to influence penal policy and develop policymakers’ knowledge and understanding of the justice system. It does this through different channels, including:

• Providing the secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Penal Affairs (APPGPA);
• Responding to government and other statutory consultations;
• Holding meetings with ministers, officials, MPs and Peers;
• Publishing briefing papers for Parliamentary debates;
• Drafting amendments to legislation;
• Providing oral and written evidence to select committees;
• Drafting Parliamentary questions;
• Working in coalition with other organisations to influence change.
