The Restorative Justice Council is entering into the second stage of its formal review into its practices, assessing its communication, engagement and overall strategy. This second part of our review has incorporated your initial feedback into how the RJC operates and we would now like to invite feedback from our members and other stakeholders about how we can improve the organisation and continue to accommodate a broad and diverse membership.

The RJC is pleased to announce that Restorative South Yorkshire have been awarded Service Provider status.

The service, which is delivered by Remedi and funded by South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and the Yorkshire and the Humber Probation Service, provides opportunities for those harmed by crime and those responsible for the harm to communicate in a safe environment with the support of trained facilitators.

The Restorative Justice Council is pleased to announce that starting in January 2023 we are conducting an evaluation of our organisation. This evaluation is being set up to better understand how we are delivering our key services and how well the membership and outside stakeholders assess our performance against our charitable objectives.

Today the Justice Select Committee has published its report on the draft Victims Bill which the Government published on 25 May 2022. The Committee’s pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill was a very welcome move, but the Government needs to move quickly to give reassurance that it will present the long-delayed Victims Bill soon to Parliament and that it will take account of the Justice Committee’s comments.
