LNB NEWS: MoJ announces new guidance for engaging with restorative justice services

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and HM Prison and Probation Service have announced new guidance, ‘Restorative Practice (incorporating Restorative Justice Services) Policy Framework’, applicable for prison and community practitioners when engaging with restorative justice services. 

Lexis®Library update: The MoJ has stated that the aim of this policy framework is to ensure that offender managers, probation practitioners and victim liaison officers understand their responsibilities in the referral and suitability assessment process for engaging with restorative justice services, to support regional commissioning of such services, and to provide guidance on how restorative practice can be incorporated into day-to-day interactions with victims accessing the Victim Contact Scheme and all people on probation or in prison.

The policy framework is accessible here.
