How to contribute

One of the purposes of this book is to be reactive to feedback and be easy to contribute to. We strongly encourage feedback, be it negative or positive, so that we can change what is not working and keep what is working and ensure the book remains fit for purpose. Collaboration from all stakeholders within the criminal justice system is welcomed.

There are three ways to contribute, detailed below.
