LAWC will share the adapted Journey to Justice guide on the LAWC webpage and social media accounts. LAWC will distribute the guide to regional networks of service providers within London and the neighbouring Middlesex, Elgin and Oxford Counties to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
