Changing Lives

Prolific offenders go through the revolving door of justice - a cycle of offending, prison and reoffending. Restorative conferencing provides the offender with the motivation to change their lives.

Children & Young People

The use of a restorative approach with young people particularly in a schools setting confronts the harmers with the true consequences of their actions which sometimes are seen by the harmer as ‘ just having a laugh.' The restorative approach can prevent further harmful behaviour and restore the harm caused by a young person acting alone or as a group. The approach addresses the underlying problems and concludes with a positive outcome in order to address the behaviour and solve the problem.
