Please could everyone take a moment to complete a short survey.

The Government is taking rights to Restorative Justice away from victims of crime.

Their new draft victims’ code would mean:
YOTs no longer have to inform victims about Restorative Justice.
Victims of adult offenders are no longer entitled to information about Restorative Justice.

They are asking for our feedback on this consultation by May 28th. It is so important that they receive as many responses as possible which urge them to include an entitlement to Restorative Justice.

Find and participate in consultations relating to the duties of the Ministry of Justice.
