Language barriers in Restorative Justice meetings
Where necessary, we use an external translator service to help victims and offenders communicate....
The Restorative Justice Council has announced that Restorative Solutions: Family Action Lincolnshire Behavioural Outreach Support Service has been awarded the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM).
Restorative Solutions and Family Action are working together across Lincolnshire to support schools to reduce challenging behaviour and conflict in schools through the use of restorative approaches. By being awarded the RSQM the service has demonstrated that it is committed to providing restorative practice in schools to the highest standard.
The RSQM is a badge of quality that guarantees that a service provides safe, high quality restorative practice which meets the six Restorative Service Standards. The Restorative Solutions and Family Action service joins other RSQM awardees – in sectors ranging from criminal justice through education to care – delivering high quality restorative processes.
Clare Boardman, Restorative Manager for the service, said:
“We were absolutely delighted to achieve the RSQM. Restorative approaches in educational settings are transformational, and the Quality Mark assures our schools that our delivery is to the highest standard. The RSQM enables us to robustly self-assess our practice and processes and policies. It enables the organisation to continually develop the service and instil good practice.”
Restorative Solutions is delighted to have been awarded the RSQM in Lincolnshire and congratulations go to Clare Boardman and all her team for the hard work in achieving it.
We’d love to talk to you about how we can find a solution for you.
