We understand restorative justice as an ethos with practical goals, among which is to restore harm by including affected parties in a (direct or indirect) encounter and a process of understanding through voluntary and honest dialogue. Restorative justice adopts a fresh approach to conflicts and their control, retaining at the same time certain rehabilitative goals" (Gavrielides 2007: 139).
We have a positive approach to rehabilitation meaning that we apply the Good Lives Model by seeing the talent in every individual vs managing their risk (vs Risk Need Responsivity Model). We have a holistic approach when applying restorative justice which includes direct restorative justice practices (in the form of mediation, family group conferencing (FGG) and circles), employment, education, mental health support, training and 1-1 mentoring.
We apply the values and ethos of restorative justice including power sharing, equality, dignity and respect. Therefore, we see all our projects and interventions as voluntary and thus we expect the person that is being referred to have consented to take part in our programmes.
For further information, or to discuss a potential referral including costs, please contact Dr. Theo Gavrielides via email: referral@rj4all.org
Suitability is assessed in the first instance by RJ4All Director and then by Restorative Justice Facilitators upon separately meeting with the affected parties.
The main criterion for suitability is that the person who is being referred should have consented to take part in our restorative justice programmes.
Please note we do not routinely accept referrals involving sexual offences or offences against children.
