Community Justice Interventions Wales

“The objective of COSA is to substantially reduce the risk of further sexual abuse by providing volunteer support to, and enhancing monitoring of, the perpetrators involved. The efficacy of this approach is evidenced by the zero rate of re-offending amongst those who have participated in the programme since its inception in 2007.”

Circles of Support and Accountability

Established in May 2007, Circles of Support and Accountability has recruited and trained eighty volunteers to support and monitor sex offenders in their communities.  This groundbreaking programme has assisted thirty-four high-risk offenders to reintegrate into society and has prevented any further incidences of re-offending.  The programme has received awards from the North Wales Criminal Justice Board and WCVA and has received substantial funding from the Tudor Trust.
