Restorative Justice ensures offenders are held accountable for their actions, in addition to providing an opportunity to understand the true impact of their behaviour on others and to repair the harm caused.
We are a multi-agency partnership, offering a high standard of service, across the Cleveland Police Force Area. Our work is recognised by our achievement of the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM) in 2018, awarded by the Restorative Justice Council.
What we can offer:
- A free, independent and confidential service, available across Cleveland and managed on behalf of the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Cleveland.
- Cases are thoroughly risk assessed to ensure all parties involved are fully supported and informed, in making the right decision for them in how to proceed.Both victims and offenders must be willing to participate, as Restorative Justice is a purely voluntary process of communication.
- Services are tailored to individual needs and requirements, in accordance with their preferred method of communication with the offender(s).
