The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has announced the members of its new Experts in Restorative Justice Group. The Group will inform the government’s policies and activities in relation to restorative justice in England and Wales.

- Joan Bailey - University of Bedfordshire
- Marcia Barrett - Youth Offending Service (Hounslow and Croydon)
- Becky Beard - Restorative Gloucestershire
- Louise Brookes - National Probation Service
- Debra Clothier - Escaping Victimhood
- Jon Collins - Restorative Justice Council
- Marcus Czarnecki - Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire
- Brian Dowling - Victim Support
- Ray Fishbourne - Thames Valley Partnership
- Alexia Gray - Kirklees Council
- Roger Hadwen - Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime

- Daniel Palmer - London Community Rehabilitation Company
- Elaine Roberts -North Wales Police
- Meredith Rossner - London School of Economics
- Gary Stephenson - Restorative Solutions

The Experts in Restorative Justice Group will advise and assist the MoJ’s vision for good quality, victim-focused restorative justice to be available at all stages of the criminal justice system. It takes the place of the RJ Action Plan Working Group, which was disbanded in 2014.
