Restorative Justice is a process that:

• aims to put things right for the people who have been victims of offences.
• puts the people most affected by the crime, the victims, at the heart of the Justice system.
• offenders take responsibility and offer to put things right for victims.
• puts the emphasis on repairing harm caused by conflict and crime.

If an offender takes responsibility for an offence that has affected others, a restorative justice conference will be arranged. Restorative Justice Facilitators will meet separately with the offender, the victim and their support people, to assess whether a restorative justice conference would be helpful. Restorative Justice deals with cases involving adult offenders.
