Our mission
To make accountability accessible to people who would otherwise have no realistic route to justice.
Our vision
A country in which every public body follows the law it is bound by — and in which any family that is wronged can make it do so, whatever their means.
Our purpose
Justify's charitable purposes, as set out in its constitution, are carried out through five functions: advice, education, research, paralegal activities and funding.
What guides us
Enforce
We help people challenge decisions by public bodies that are unfair, unlawful or procedurally flawed — and we hold those bodies to the law as written, not as they would prefer it to be.
Empower
We stand alongside individuals and families who would otherwise face complex legal systems alone, so they can take part in decisions about their own lives as equals.
Educate
We examine documents, decisions and procedures to find where things went wrong, explain what happened in plain English, and help people judge whether they have grounds to challenge it. Then we publish what we learn so others can use it.
Who we help
Children, families and individuals who need support. If you are unsure whether we can help, please get in touch so that we can consider your circumstances.
