Justice Minister strongly encourages practitioner registration to all criminal justice agencies
Crispin Blunt MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, has written to a wide range of partners in the criminal justice system to raise awareness of opportunities for building capacity and capability for restorative justice.
The Minister announced the availability of free training in restorative justice and advice on building capacity and capability to deliver it within the National Offender Management Service (NOMS). The training and advice will be delivered by Restorative Solutions CIC and Thames Valley Partnership Restorative Justice Services and is joint-funded by a recent NOMS grant to build capacity for restorative justice with the Monument Trust.
In addition free training will be available from Restorative Solutions for local areas seeking to build capacity to deliver restorative justice in neighbourhoods to deal with crime, anti-social behaviour and disorder. The letter suggests that this training may be helpful for areas seeking to develop Neighbourhood Resolution Panels (also known as Community Justice Panels).
Turning to practitioner registration the Minister describes the RJC Practitioner Register as an important tool to ensuring quality of standards which will provide the public with reassurance that restorative justice is a safe and positive process for them to take part in. The Minister strongly encourages all staff delivering restorative justice to the public to join the RJC Practitioner Register.
The letter has been sent to NOMS senior managers, Youth Offending Teams, Local Criminal Justice Boards, Community Safety Partnerships and local authorities.
