Darren Lyons- ex user rep for Criminal Justice Pathways in Nottinghamshire

“At the start I was unsure of the contribution I could make to this programme and apprehensive about being involved. Working as part of this programme has allowed me to feel that I have been able to provide a unique perspective based on my life experiences as an ex-user. Working with so many different people from some many different back grounds has been a positive experience for myself and I am proud to have been a part of this project.”
“Being able to add my perspective and to help shape the outcome of this project has meant I believe that all strands of this end to end process have been considered to allow this to have the maximum positive effect on people’s lives.”
“Lots of small inputs, create a large positive output”
