We will provide a crisis and intervention service for children and young people aged 10-18 in the Wigan area who have been arrested after displaying harmful and physically violent behaviours towards their parents or carers. We will focus on triaging and working with higher-risk young people, providing a trauma-informed approach to support them in changing their behaviour. Our service will offer rapid response and intensive support for a short period during crisis points.
The RJC’s quarterly magazine, Resolution, explores some of the key debates in restorative practice and provides examples of restorative practice in action. Over the years, we have attracted a range of interesting and insightful contributors who have written about some of the key innovations and debates in the restorative practice field.
We have an opportunity to work with us to develop and deliver Restorative Justice Services across West Yorkshire.
We are ideally looking for an experienced Restorative Justice lead practitioner, with a track record of work in restorative practices. In addition, we are looking for experience of implementing multi-agency partnerships across the criminal justice sector, and of working with volunteers and the voluntary sector. Training will be provided as needed.
I am delighted to present the RJC’s Strategic Plan for the period 2024-2027. When I accepted the role as Chair of Trustees in June 2023, I inherited the Council’s Strategic Plan set back in 2021. It was important to me that the team continued to deliver this plan rather than changing direction. Making this decision gave me time to fully understand our history and bring together a dedicated team of trustees with the skills to fully support our CEO to deliver his ambitious vision for the RJC’s future.
The Trustees present their Annual Report, together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.
This year has been a significant milestone in the history of the RJC as we celebrated our 25th Anniversary. The Board, our CEO and staff have taken time to reflect on our past and set our direction for the future. It has been a year where we have been proud to celebrate our success with our members, partners and the wider restorative sector.
