Sacro’s Youth Justice and Adult Restorative Justice Services are based on restorative principles. They offer support to those affected by and those responsible for harm. The aim is to address behaviour in a way which empowers the people harmed, those responsible and wider community members to resolve issues in a constructive way.

Restorative Justice Services and the Community Based Reparation Service allow diversion from prosecution in court of accused adults who are willing to make direct reparation to victims of their offences. TASC (Talk After Severe Crime) offers restorative justice for victims of violent crime.

Sacro delivers a range of Youth Justice services, specific to young people between the ages of 8 and 17.

These services include: Restorative Justice Conferencing, Community Based Reparation, Personal Change Programmes, Restorative Acceptable Behaviour Contracts and Family Group Conferencing with young people.

Sacro also provides a Youth Justice Strategy Co-ordination role on behalf of the Youth Justice Partnership in Aberdeen.
