Restorative Justice (RJ) is a voluntary process that brings together those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for causing the harm. It creates a safe space for everyone involved to talk about what happened, the impact it had, and what is needed to move forward.
Key elements of Restorative Justice:
🗣 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗺-𝗹𝗲𝗱
RJ centres the needs and experiences of the person harmed, giving them the opportunity to ask questions, express the impact, and have their voice heard.
🚨 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
The person responsible is encouraged to acknowledge their actions, reflect on the consequences, and understand the harm caused.
🤝 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Conversations may take place through face to face meetings, written communication, or indirect “shuttle” mediation facilitated by a trained practitioner.
Restorative Justice can take place at any stage of the criminal justice process — from out of court disposals to post sentence. It is used for a wide range of offence types as well as community conflicts such as neighbour or family disputes.
In Derbyshire, an RJ service is provided through Remedi: Restorative Services, offering options such as in person meetings, written communication, or facilitated shuttle mediation, depending on what feels safe and appropriate for the people involved.
