While there are plenty of benefits to Restorative Justice, there are various things that need to be considered before taking part. In our latest blog, we go through everything you should consider to help you make the best choice for you.
Practitioners are at the heart of the Restorative Justice process, facilitating communication between the victim and offender. We recently caught up with Caz Worthington-Hollowbread who gave us an insight into her role at Restorative Solutions.
Restorative Justice gives victims the opportunity to communicate with the person responsible for the crime that has affected them. The experience can be incredibly powerful, allowing victims to take back control, which can help them find closure.
Preparation Meetings allow facilitators to identify what participants want out of the experience, any additional requirements they may need and how communication will take place. It's also an opportunity for participants to gather their thoughts.
The festive period is one of joy and celebration, but for those who have been affected by crime, it can be an incredibly stressful and difficult time. Restorative Justice can help ease symptoms of depression and anxiety.
This RJ Week we’re shining a light on our wonderful volunteers! Without their incredible work, we wouldn't be able to do all we do, so we'd like to take a moment to thank them and show our gratitude.
Restorative Justice has a proven, significant impact in supporting victims of crime in moving on with their lives, but where did the practice originate?
October is Emotional Wellness Month, a time to reflect, raise awareness and remove the stigma around discussions of mental health.
Restorative Justice can be an incredibly powerful process to take part in for victims and offenders, but there are, unfortunately, many misconceptions about the practice. If you’re considering taking part, making sure you’re fully informed can help ease your mind and help you decide whether it’s the right approach for you.
National Inclusion Week takes place from the 23rd-29th September.

Burglary Victim
Thank you for the letter, it has made a real difference to how I feel about what happened
From victim of a criminal damage to vehicle where the offender wanted to write a letter which explained what he had been feeling at the time and how sorry he was now.
Thank you for the letter, it has made a difference to how I feel.
Georgia, Victim of Crime
Thank you for the update, I felt reassured that the offender has apologised and that her behaviour was subject to some reflection and accountability.
Linda, Victim of Crime
He's done what he has been asked to do (apologise for the harm caused) - I'm very happy with that.
