Horizon Project Report: Rebuilding Trust: Designing a Restorative Justice Programme with Those Harmed

Horizon Project – Second Report

The Restorative Justice Council’s Horizon Project will publish its second report, Rebuilding Trust: Designing a Restorative Justice Programme with Those Harmed, on 19 March 2026.

This report marks a significant moment in the ongoing commitment to respond meaningfully to the harm caused by the Post Office Horizon IT scandal and the Capture IT System. It represents the second stage of the Council’s work in this space and sets out, in full, the restorative justice programme that will be available from April 2026.

Grounded above all in careful listening, this volume reflects sustained engagement with people who have lived with the consequences of these failures for many years. It explores how a restorative justice programme can be designed in a way that is credible, ethical and responsive to lived experience, and how learning from those harmed has directly shaped the programme’s structure, principles and delivery.

This page will be updated with the full report when it is published.
