Ingeus joined justice professionals from across the world at the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) Annual Conference 2026, sharing learning and exploring how partnership working can support effective rehabilitation and reintegration.
This year’s conference theme, “Partnerships in a Modern Corrections Landscape: Responding to Increasing Growth and Complexity,” explored how justice systems can respond to growing and increasingly complex needs through collaboration with government agencies, social services, academia, research organisations, the voluntary and private sectors, and communities.
Across the conference, the programme showcased research, practice and innovation focused on collaborative partnerships, managing prison growth, community alternatives and reintegration. Discussions considered how partnership approaches can strengthen operational capacity, enhance evidence-informed practice and support safer diversion and reintegration.
The themes closely aligned with Ingeus’ extensive experience in delivering justice services and working alongside specialist partners to support people facing multiple and complex barriers.
Ingeus has supported people through rehabilitative services in the criminal justice system for more than 20 years, with teams working alongside probation and specialist partners to deliver tailored support across areas including accommodation, employment, personal wellbeing, education and training, financial security, and dependency and recovery.
The importance of collaboration has also been reflected in Ingeus’ recent work across its justice services. Through a series of Holloway events held across England, teams brought together organisations and people with lived experience to explore trauma-informed practice and how services can collaborate more effectively to improve outcomes for women in contact with the justice system.
Lived experience and reintegration also featured within the ICPA programme, including sessions examining reintegration as a collaboration between individuals, communities and the state, and the importance of bringing practitioners, policymakers, researchers and people with lived experience together to create meaningful change.
Carrie Peters, Director of Justice Services at Ingeus, said:
“The ICPA Annual Conference was an important opportunity to learn from colleagues across the international justice community and explore how greater collaboration can help us respond to the increasingly complex challenges faced by the people we support.
“It was incredibly valuable to exchange ideas, hear different perspectives and consider how we can bring that learning back into our work across Ingeus.”
The conference provided an opportunity for Ingeus to connect with the wider international justice community, share experiences and learn from organisations working to improve rehabilitation and reintegration around the world.
By continuing to collaborate, listen to lived experience and learn from innovative practice, Ingeus remains committed to supporting better outcomes for people involved with the justice system.
