Restorative justice involves looking beyond retribution to find deeper solutions that heal broken relationships.
Restorative Justice is a community based justice process that provides:
After everyone involved in or affected by harmful behavior has agreed to participate in a restorative justice process, trained facilitators come together with the victim, the offender and their supporters in a safe, confidential process to look at the harm done and to decide what should take place to repair the damage.
At the meeting, the offender accepts responsibility for the harmful behavior, explains why it happened and apologizes. The victim then has a chance to speak about the effects of the harmful behaviour on them.
The group together explores the options for repairing the harm done. Support persons are designated from within the group to support both parties during the completion of the agreement.When an agreement has been reached it is written and signed.
The coordinator, the facilitator and the support team then work together to ensure that the agreement is carried out to the satisfaction of all.
