Launch of Just Results

Posted July 20, 2012

This morning we launched Just Results, a report on the government’s plans to apply Payment by Results (PbR) to community sentences. The report was the result of bringing together 30 leading experts to explore in an open-minded and constructive spirit the challenges and opportunities of applying PbR to the delivery of community sentences. The report is underpinned by 9 non-negotiable principles which were identified as being crucial if PbR is to be successful. We very much hope that the report will contribute to the critical wider debate about the complexities and the opportunities which exist when applying PbR to community sentences.

Do check out the Economist article and listen to my interview on the Radio 4’s Today programme for more information.
