This guide was commissioned by Community Justice Ayrshire and written by Dr Beth Weaver, Senior Lecturer in Social Work at the University of Strathclyde, Dr Claire Lightowler, Director of CYCJ and Kristina Moodie, CYCJ’s Research Associate. It is the result of a two year action research project, that builds upon learning from the process of establishing three Ayrshire based service user involvement groups.
The guide aims to support professionals and service users in working together to shape the design, development and delivery of criminal and community justice services.
