It’s been nearly a month since we woke up to Brexit, and things have moved fast. Since then we’ve had Cameron’s resignation, Gove’s Brutus act, ‘mothergate’, new PM Theresa May and the most comprehensive cabinet reshuffle I can remember. More seriously, and away from our political melodrama, the horrific attack in Nice has added yet another incident to the lengthening list of recent events almost too awful to bear. The referendum is so last month.

Amid the political and economic turmoil that has followed the vote for Brexit, one of the most upsetting developments has been what appears to be a sharp spike in hate crime. The police have seen a noticeable increase in the number of incidents reported to them, while social media has been flooded with examples of abuse targeted at people who are, or who are thought to be, immigrants.
Speaking at an RJC event in East London last week, the organisation’s patron HRH the Princess Royal congratulated delegates on their work across the restorative practice field.
The event brought together RJC members from multiple sectors, and focused on improving partnership working in order to improve outcomes for young people.
The Princess Royal also took time to visit stands showcasing some of the innovative restorative work currently taking place with young people, and to meet delegates attending the event.
The RJC is delighted to announce that two more services have been awarded the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM). Maidstone Mediation Scheme and Sussex Restorative Justice Partnership (post-sentence service) have successfully completed their assessment and now hold the RSQM.
Jon Collins, the RJC’s chief executive, said: “I am very pleased that these organisations are delivering such good quality services to victims and offenders. Their staff are committed and dedicated and this is reflected in the consistently high standard of their work.”
We are pleased to announce that our 2016 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and members’ conference will be held on Tuesday 22 November in London.
