About the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance

The National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) supports arts organisations working in the criminal justice system. Its purpose is to improve communication and broker relationships between artists and organisations working with the criminal justice sector, offenders and ex-offenders, prison and probation staff, and relevant government departments.

The NCJAA provides practitioners and service users with a voice through which to influence policy, a forum in which to exchange views, and a stand on which to promote and raise the profile of the arts in the criminal justice sector.

The NCJAA and all of its activity is made possible by the generous financial support from the Ministry of Justice, and The Monument Trust. The hard work and dedication of the many arts organisations in the field who support the Arts Alliance ensure that it is a thriving network supporting arts for everyone.

The NCJAA is managed by Clinks, the national organisation which supports the voluntary and community sector working in the criminal justice system in England and Wales.
