Restorative Practitioner - Greater Manchester
As a Restorative Justice Practitioner, you will work with offenders and victims of crime to facilitate communication between them. You will be supporting victims and offenders of a wide variety of offence types, from shoplifting and criminal damage to sexual violence and murder. This will involve working with Greater Manchester Police, the National Probation Service and local prisons.
For victims, Restorative Justice (RJ) is an opportunity to ask the offender questions about the offence, seek an apology and achieve closure to help them move forwards. For offenders, RJ enables them to share their perspective, answer the victim’s questions, give an apology and express their remorse for the offence.
There are two types of RJ:
- Direct RJ – communication via face-to-face meeting, phone call or video call.
- Indirect RJ – communication via letter-writing or shuttle messages.
