The RJC is pleased to announce that Restorative Solutions: Family Action Lincolnshire Behavioural Outreach Support Service has been awarded the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM).
Restorative Solutions and Family Action are working together across Lincolnshire to support schools to reduce challenging behaviour and conflict in schools through the use of restorative approaches.
Chris Straker, the RJC’s interim chief executive, said:
Researchers have published thousands of articles on restorative justice. However, much of this information is behind the paywalls of academic journals or is too lengthy to be of practical use. Here, Ian Marder, a PhD researcher at University of Leeds and the founder of the Community of Restorative Researchers, discusses the findings of some recent research.
This article is taken from the RJC's Resolution magazine, published in March 2018.
The RJC is pleased to announce the publication of its report of five regional workshops for commissioners of restorative justice services.
Since funding for restorative justice services was devolved from the Ministry of Justice to police and crime commissioners, there has been the opportunity to design local services to meet the needs of local communities. These workshops provided a vital opportunity to share notes on what’s working well and how challenges are being met with innovation in different areas.
The RJC is pleased to announce that Dr Kerry Clamp is the RJC’s new chair of trustees.
Kerry is assistant professor of criminology at the University of Nottingham and brings a deep understanding of the restorative sector from her research on restorative policing, evaluation of community justice panels, and her work consulting government. Kerry is also the chair of the editorial board for the European Forum for Restorative Justice.
Part-time 15 hours per week, preferably worked over 4 or 5 days. Fixed term contract until October 2020 (extension subject to continued funding).
