Restorative justice enables victims (the harmed party) and offenders (the harming party), if they freely consent, to participate actively in a resolution for a criminal offence through a third-party facilitator. It can be a very powerful tool which focuses on healing and reconciliation, rather than punishment. It also encourages offenders to take responsibility, acknowledge harm, and make amends directly to victims. Ultimately, restorative justice can support longer-term peace and reintegration of offenders into society.

Not only can restorative justice benefit those directly involved in a crime, but it can also have a wider benefit to the community through promoting conflict resolution and reducing reoffending by addressing the root causes of the crime.

Restorative Justice 4 All (RJ4All) is a charitable organisation which has a mission to address power abuse, conflict, and poverty using restorative justice values and practices. RJ4All defines restorative justice as a set of practical goals. One of these is to repair harm by including affected parties in a direct or indirect encounter and to follow a process of understanding through voluntary, safe, and honest dialogue.

This webinar with Skills for Justice and restorative justice experts RJ4All explores current trends in restorative justice and how we can work across the criminal justice system to support the practice.
