Community Based Reparation – Making Amends Restoratively
Alex Pirrie, Service Team Leader, Sacro
This session will introduce Sacro’s Community Based Reparation Service in Aberdeen. It will show how the Service operates within the restorative justice process and demonstrate how it involves people responsible for crime and individuals and communities affected, in repairing the harm caused by an offence. Delegates will be invited to explore how this model differs from other sanctions in Scotland, its role as an early intervention to crime and how it can work with in youth and criminal justice systems.
Restorative Justice Heals and Assists with Behaviour Change
Lucy Florquin, Service Manager, and Craig Millard, Team Leader, Restorative Justice, Sacro

Based on a recent successful case facilitated by the team, delegates will be invited to gain a unique insight of an RJ conference from the perspective of both person harmed (victim) and person responsible (accused).
