Restorative Justice Services

Restorative Justice focuses on what needs to happen to address the harm caused by crime. It does this by enabling communication about the crime to take place safely between the people responsible for an offence and those harmed.

Restorative Justice Service workers are individuals who will listen to both sides. They do not solve the problem personally but bring the two sides together to work out their own practical solutions for the future.

You need to be a good communicator – both written and oral; a good listener, able to remain impartial, be confident, flexible and reside in the area. It is important that you are able to respect issues of confidentiality.
