ARE YOU A GOOD LISTENER, NON-JUDGEMENTAL, CONFIDENT AND ABLE TO WORK ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE?
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR COMMUNITY?
If the answers are yes, you live in North Yorkshire and you are over 18 years old, then why not become involved in this exciting Restorative Justice Project. You will gain valuable knowledge and skills in interviewing victims and offenders, facilitating Awareness Courses, Restorative Justice Interventions, and partnership working with professionals within the Criminal Justice System.
It will be your role as a Volunteer Restorative Justice Facilitator to interview those that have been harmed and facilitate the Hate Crime Awareness Course and the Violent Crime Awareness Course. Upon experience training in and delivering these courses, volunteers can then progress and attend a further two day Restorative Justice Facilitator training course to become a Restorative Justice Practitioner. Once trained, volunteers will be able to work with victims and offenders to facilitate face to face conferences or correspondence to help both victims and perpetrators move on positively with their lives. You will also be involved in facilitating meetings for those involved in neighbourhood conflict.
This opportunity could be helpful for those considering a career in this increasingly growing area of work or in other areas of the Criminal Justice System. There may also be the opportunity to be accredited for the BTEC Level 3 in Restorative Approaches.
If this is something that you are interested in, please get in touch at: RJNorthYorkshire@restorativesolutions.org.uk
You will then be invited to attend a zoom Information Session in September to find out more.
We’d love to talk to you about how we can find a solution for you.
I'm so glad I am working with RJ. I don't know who would listen to me if it wasn’t for you.
RJ is very underrated and I certainly think we should be using it more.
Very satisfied – it’s been a great service. A worthwhile process for me and I hope for the offenders. Staff have been great and I would like to thank them.
It was the right thing to do. Both victims told me to let go of what happened. I didn't want to hear it but they both forgave me and said I should move on. I have taken that on and thought about it and I have come to terms with what happened. You've helped me significantly. It's as though my head has been lifted of a gigantic weight.
Thanks for your time today. I feel like you understand R so well, I really hope you can help him to learn how to be happy.
Restorative Justice offers a unique opportunity for victims and survivors to move on from and overcome the trauma that can be left with them after experiencing crime. I am exceedingly proud of the work that the team at Restorative Solutions do in supporting our community. We should always consider the needs of victims of crime and this service exemplifies that sentiment and allows so many to put behind them what can be the worst experience of their lives.
