All those who participate in restorative justice deserve to have access to the highest quality of service available.

The aim of this document is to enable and encourage practitioners and organisations in Scotland to provide this kind of service by establishing nationally recognised standards of best practice.

These three reports, compiled by Dr Derek Brookes, explore whether restorative justice can both contribute to workplace safety and help heal bereaved families after work-related deaths better than the traditional system.

The research was carried out during 2008 and 2009 in Victoria, Australia and makes a number of recommendations in favour of implementing restorative justice for use in such cases.

Transcripts also include a case study of a restorative justice process following a workplace fatality.
