The activities and commitments within the strategy will contribute towards the national aims outlined in the National Strategy for Community Justice.
The Strategy:
- Identifies the stakeholders for the CJAP and who we will communicate and engage with
- Identifies the ways in which we will communicate and engage
- Outlines the roles and responsibilities of community justice partners
- Outlines the measurements we will use to evaluate our success
- Will help the partnership achieve the actions within our Community Justice Outcomes Improvement Plan (CJOIP)

- Focus groups
- Surveys
- ‘Have Your Say’ sessions
