The Restorative Justice Council is offering a limited number of organisations the chance to apply for the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM) at a reduced price. As an independent quality mark, the RSQM will allow your organisation to demonstrate to commissioners, partners and the public that you are delivering safe, quality restorative practice.
This year, with the support of the Ministry of Justice, we are offering a reduced rate to 20 organisations working in the criminal justice sector of £3,000 plus VAT – a saving of £1,000 on the standard fee.
We are delighted that the Ministry of Justice has agreed to further support the TPQM in 2017-18, enabling the RJC to offer the TPQM free of charge to a limited number of organisations on a first come first served basis.
The TPQM provides a badge of quality for training providers. It allows training providers to show that they have been externally recognised, enables them to market their training in a competitive field, and gives commissioners and learners confidence in their training. Twenty-three training providers now hold the TPQM, with one telling us:

With the general election a little over two weeks away, campaigning is in full swing and the main three parties have published their manifestos.
As expected, crime and criminal justice have not been prominent in the campaign so far, with the exception of the fallout from Dianne Abbott’s excruciating interview on the cost of Labour’s pledge to recruit 10,000 more police officers. But all of the manifestos contain the obligatory sections on law and order, so what do they tell us about the prospects of restorative justice in the next parliament?
