What is Restorative Justice?
‘Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for the harm into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.’
Restorative Justice Council 2017
A Bit of Background
Restorative Justice gives those who have been affected by anti-social behaviour or crime the opportunity to explain how they have been affected to the person who has caused the harm, and have a voice in deciding on how that harm may be repaired.

How does
the System
Work?
Once a referral is made to the Restorative Justice team from the police, registered provider or local authority, a trained and skilled RJ co-ordinator will contact the customer to have an initial conversation about how Restorative Justice could help.
