Restorative Justice Practitioner and Volunteer Wellbeing
Restorative Justice cases can be complex, so it’s important that our team is well-supported. By caring for their own wellbeing, our teams can also better support our service users.

In this blog post, we’ll explore why an offender may choose to participate, the positive impact Restorative Justice has on offenders and how it can help reduce reoffending.
In this blog, we’ll look at a Restorative Justice case from a practitioner’s perspective. Dave had his first experience of implementing Restorative Justice in 2007 and joined the Restorative Solutions team in 2019.
This infographic shows the process of Restorative Justice. Although each case will be different, there are a few steps that our facilitators take to make sure that the victim is comfortable and safe throughout the process.
Meetings can be a part of the Restorative Justice process, a voluntary service that helps victims of crime and offenders to come into communication in a safe, facilitated environment.
Restorative Solutions recently contributed to a peer-reviewed, academic article about Restorative Service providers.
The process of Restorative Justice looks different for everyone, but there are certain steps that are taken in every case to make sure that the victim feels safe, comfortable and empowered throughout their journey.

Burglary Victim
Thank you for the letter, it has made a real difference to how I feel about what happened
From victim of a criminal damage to vehicle where the offender wanted to write a letter which explained what he had been feeling at the time and how sorry he was now.
Thank you for the letter, it has made a difference to how I feel.
Georgia, Victim of Crime
Thank you for the update, I felt reassured that the offender has apologised and that her behaviour was subject to some reflection and accountability.
Linda, Victim of Crime
He's done what he has been asked to do (apologise for the harm caused) - I'm very happy with that.
Kieran, Victim of Crime
