Women's Justice Board
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, on what dates the Women’s Justice Board has met since it was established.
Answered by Jake Richards
We established the Women’s Justice Board (WJB) in 2024 to advise on reducing the number of women going to prison with more managed in the community. The WJB met formally in 2025 on 21 January, 29 April and 22 July – more information can be found on GOV.UK.
On 16 March, we published a report by members of the Women’s Justice Board. Following publication of the report, the WJB has now come to an end. To support the next phase of work we are transitioning to a new Women’s Justice Advisory Group which will act as a distinct advisory forum, providing external insight, expert advice and constructive challenge.
