This briefing provides reasoning for the enhancement of the Victims and Prisoners Bill.

The RJC are delighted to announce the launch of a new advisory panel to support our policy and standards work.
Our Living Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) has been established to create a space for those individuals with experience of either accessing or participating in a restorative process to come together and use their experiences to help inform our policy positions, practitioner guidance and practice standards.
We are delighted to announce that they RJC have submitted an application to serve on the Advisory Board of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Restorative Justice for the upcoming year. The formation of the new Advisory Board will take place on the 9th February 2024.
