This resource serves as a concise reference for parliamentarians and policymakers to comprehend the fundamentals of Restorative Justice and Restorative Practice, along with practical implementation strategies across various policy domains. Developed by the Restorative Justice Council in collaboration with experts from criminal justice, education, healthcare, and community organisations, this document offers a comprehensive overview.
The Restorative Justice Council (RJC) is excited to announce that we are now accepting applications to join our Living Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP).
This panel aims to create a platform for individuals who have directly engaged with restorative processes, allowing them to share their insights and experiences to inform our policies, practitioner guidance, and practice standards.
We have an opportunity for a part time role to work with us to develop and deliver our Restorative Justice (RJ) Service across Merseyside.
We are looking for an individual with a track record of work in restorative practices, experience of work in multi-agency partnerships across the criminal justice sector, and of working with volunteers.

In the face of a pressing prisons crisis in England and Wales, the Liberal Democrats’ proposal to develop and expand restorative justice schemes as a viable alternative to short custodial sentences, represents a crucial step towards creating a more humane and effective criminal justice system.
The Restorative Justice Council (RJC) is dedicated to promoting best practices in restorative justice and ensuring the safety, security, and efficacy of restorative practices across organisations, services, and individuals.
To this end, the RJC endorses specific management information systems that adhere to our Best Practice Guidelines. These systems must be designed to facilitate safe practice, ensure correct data collection and storage, and meet GDPR and confidentiality laws, thereby supporting standardised data reporting across multiple sectors.
