The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Restorative Justice has today published their report of the inaugural Inquiry which took place over the summer. The Inquiry, titled ‘Restorative Practices in 2021/22’ sought to assess where the sector is at the moment, and what steps could be taken to improve and coordinate the various services to improve outcomes for victims and offenders. The Inquiry marked the first major piece of work for the APPG, which was only constituted in April 2021.

Ahead of the formal publication of the Restorative Justice All-Party Parliamentary Group Inquiry Report (‘Restorative Practices in 2021/2022’) the APPG is delighted to welcome new applications to join the Advisory Board for the 2021/2022 session.
