YJB funding for YOTs

In response to the announcement of the £2 million Youth Justice Board Grant to youth offending teams (YOTs) for restorative justice training, the Restorative Justice Council (RJC) are offering information and support to YOTs who would like to develop and improve their restorative justice provision.

The RJC provides a number of services including practitioner registration and accreditation, a Trainer Register, the Restorative Service Quality Mark and Continuing Professional Development events. To find out more download the information sheet below.

Jemma Jewkes, the RJC’s head of standards, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for YOTs, and we want to do everything we can to help them deliver, safe, high quality restorative justice.

“We would encourage YOTs to get in touch and take the next steps towards accreditation and achieving the Restorative Service Quality Mark.”
