Justice 2.0

Justice 2.0

What is Justice 2.0?

Justice 2.0 is a global campaign to create a more humane and effective justice system. It focuses on changing culture: how people are treated, how relationships are built and how everyday decisions are made.

Launched by Grow Transform Belong CIC, the campaign brings together people with lived experience, people working in justice and wider communities. Everyone has knowledge, strengths and ideas that can contribute to positive change.

Justice 2.0 calls for environments where people feel safe, recognised and supported to learn, take responsibility and grow. This includes people in prison or on probation, staff, families and communities.

What does upgrading justice mean?

Upgrading justice means learning from what works and finding better ways forward together. It means using knowledge, compassion, courage, trust and recognition to improve people’s experiences of justice.

The Principles of Growth help us understand the conditions people need to thrive. These include meaningful relationships, wellbeing, opportunities to learn, meaningful work and healthy ways of coping.

Justice 2.0 encourages people to put these ideas into practice, share learning and recognise positive change. The Justice 2.0 Awards celebrate examples of this work.

The Justice 2.0 campaign is about transforming justice into a system that is fairer, more humane, and more effective. Your support matters—get involved and be a part of the change! 🚀

The Growth Standards help organisations recognise, support and value people with lived experience of the justice system as colleagues, leaders and contributors to change.

Developed through research and collaboration with people with lived experience, the standards offer a practical starting point for reflecting on workplace culture and identifying opportunities to grow.

They recognise that lived experience can develop into lived expertise through reflection, learning and practice. Together, we can create environments where that expertise is heard, valued and helps shape services, policy and everyday decisions.
