Restorative Solutions believes strongly that attention needs to be paid to what we believe are missed opportunities to make better use of restorative justice, which is a very well researched approach to helping both offenders and victims.
Restorative Solution's is proud to be part of the Monument Trust Fellowship.

This week is Restorative Justice Week 2020, which aims to spread the word about how restorative justice can be used in a wide range of contexts. Restorative justice is where people who have been harmed and people who have caused that harm communicate with each other, whether that’s in face-to-face facilitated meetings, writing letters or something else.
Our Executive Chair Gary Stephenson has decided to step down after 13 years with Restorative Solutions CIC.
"You can experience incredible trauma and it is not your fault, and a lot of people will say, 'Well why is it on me to forgive when I didn't do anything? “But I would say to that, every time you give that incident or that person power, you are inflicting more damage on yourself, so you are re-traumatising yourself, and in many ways you are giving that person continued power over your life." - Candice Mama

The West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s commitment to tackling domestic abuse and sexual violence was supported by his published Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy in 2017. The strategy underpins the need for partnership working, providing the framework for a West Yorkshire Domestic and Sexual Abuse Partnership to jointly plan and deliver support services. A two-year pilot programme was commissioned and the learning from this now leads the PCC to re-commission a West Yorkshire wide service with a focus on first time/standard perpetrators of domestic abuse who receive a conditional caution.
