Restorative Gloucestershire Visit

It was great to visit Restorative Gloucestershire this week and meet Julie and the team to hear more about the incredible work they are doing to support victims across Gloucestershire.

Restorative Justice gives victims the opportunity to explain to offenders the real impact of their crime, ask questions, and have their voices heard. It also helps offenders understand the consequences of their actions, take responsibility, and make amends. Restorative Mediation similarly gives people the chance to share frustrations and hurts, express regret, and work towards positive outcomes.

Hearing first-hand about the impact of this work reinforced my commitment to ensuring victims are at the heart of our justice system. Victims deserve to be listened to, supported, and empowered, and organisations like Restorative Gloucestershire play a vital role in making that happen.
