The RJC is pleased to announce the publication of a new research report - Restorative justice and black, Asian and minority ethnic children in the youth justice system.
The report is being launched at an event in London today with speakers including Lord McNally, the chair of the Youth Justice Board.
Written by Dr Muna Sabbagh and funded by Barrow Cadbury Trust, the report is the result of an eight-month research project looking at BAME children who have offended and their access to and experience of restorative justice.
The RJC is hosting a brand new event on Friday March 3 2017, led by Charlotte Calkin, where restorative practitioners from every sector are invited to join together and share learning and best practice through open space conferencing.
Voting is now open in the 2015 election for the RJC’s board of trustees. The board is the RJC's governing body and plays a vital role in guiding our work. The elections are your chance to have a say in who carries out this important role.
The RJC board is made up of a maximum of seven membership trustees elected from and by the membership and six council trustees appointed for their specialist skills and experience.

In today’s data-driven world, incorporating data insights into restorative justice enhances effectiveness and fairness. This publication explores data’s impact on restorative justice initiatives and advocates for an evidence-based approach.
Restorative justice emphasises collaborative dialogue to mend harm. However, ensuring its effectiveness requires informed decisions based on data analysis. Data can uncover trends, assess outcomes, guide participant selection, and optimise resource allocation, tailoring services to community needs.
The concept of restorative practice has gained significant traction in various spheres in recent years. From criminal justice to educational settings, and even within health and workplace environments, restorative approaches have shown immense potential in facilitating healing, understanding, and positive change. The RJC’s membership magazine, Resolution, serves as a vital platform that delves into key debates and showcases innovative practices in the field of restorative justice.
