Leading charities welcome new Government strategy to help society’s most excluded individuals

A group of leading charities has today welcomed the Social Justice Strategy and its focus on better coordinated support for individuals facing a combination of problems such as mental ill health, substance misuse, homelessness and contact with the criminal justice system.

Social Justice: transforming lives, launched today by the Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP, makes clear that the government’s vision for social justice and a ‘second chance society’ extends to this group of individuals facing multiple needs and exclusions, as well as to families.
