We were recently asked our views on whether now is the right time to engage with the National Police Chiefs' Council to review their guidance on the use of the restorative justice in cases of domestic violence. Members' were concerned that the existing guidance, originally produced by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), is not consistently being implemented which has, understandably, created confusion amongst practitioners.
Thank you to all those who have submitted abstracts to present at our 2nd Annual Restorative Justice Council Conference. We have an exciting programme planned for the 2-days however, to ensure we deliver a well balanced conference we will be extending our call for abstracts until the 24th September 2020.
