To apply to take part in the Lived Experience Trustees training programme, please submit either a written application or video application. Please note that submissions made after the deadline will not be considered. 

 

We welcome applications from all women with lived experience of the prison system regardless of their age, experience, disability, ethnicity, heritage, sexuality and socio-economic background.

 

We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic candidates, as these groups are currently underrepresented on charity boards. We are committed to addressing this imbalance, so at least half of the participants selected to take part in the programme will be from Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic backgrounds.

​

Full programme details, including Frequently Asked Questions are available on the Social Practice Academy site.​ Should you have any questions about the application process, please email hello@socialpractice.co.uk
