Lady Edwina Grosvenor and Harry Annison. The powerful role universities and charities can play together was explored by Law School students during a visit from criminologist and prison reform campaigner, Lady Edwina Grosvenor. She spent time with University of Southampton students to talk about criminal justice, the difference they can make and her experiences as the founder of One Small Thing. One Small Thing champions the rights of women and children in the justice system and has founded Hope Street - a pioneering residential community for justice involved women and their children - which opened in June this year. Professor Harry Annison said: "As part of Southampton Law School's Careers Programme, we were delighted to welcome Lady Edwina to give students first-hand insights about the ways in which they could pursue justice and fairness through their future careers." - Harry Annison talking to Southampton Law School students.
