Last year’s Insights25 festival was another great success. This was the first time we delivered a smaller and more tightly festival focused on empowering, enabling and looking after our staff across the criminal justice sector.

With our focused programme of 153 online, in person and our famous VIP events over 2 weeks, there was something for everyone. Registrations were up a proportionate 16%. Nearly 10,000 people working across the whole criminal justice sector booked tickets. Almost half were frontline staff. 

Thank you to all our hosts, speakers, and stakeholders for making our events as diverse as ever. There were experiences across the criminal justice system offering prison visits, research sessions, webinars for hands on learning and unique one-off access to people, places and opportunities.  

Thank you also to the staff who took time away from their busy and demanding jobs to learn, share, connect and celebrate with us.  

Watch the highlight video below and see what colleagues had to say. 

You can also check out the recordings of selected Insights25 online events.
