London Women’s Diversion Service – The impact of community support on diverting women from the criminal justice system

This report summarises the findings and learnings by Advance and its delivery partners, based on an analysis of the data, case records and women’s lived experiences shared with Advance between November 2019 and August 2021 by the 175 women referred to Advance as part of the London Women’s Diversion Service. In preparing this report, Advance examined its work with the women at point of arrest and considered what works well and what is the impact on the women’s lives. The report also considers what Advance and other agencies could do differently to improve outcomes for women and break the cycle of reoffending.
