Welcome to the official podcast from the Restorative Justice Council. The Council was formed in 1998 as an independent third sector membership body for the field of restorative practice and the national voice advocating the widespread use of all forms of restorative practice, including restorative justice. We primarily operate across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Our role is to set and champion clear standards for restorative practice whilst also raising the public awareness and confidence in restorative processes.
