Restorative Justice
The Appropriate Adult Service is able to offer both Direct & Indirect Mediation Services to YOT's
|
We can be used for individual cases or on a more regular basis. Studies have shown that restorative justice can impact and significantly reduce re-offending rates. The Youth Justice Board has placed targets on Youth Offending Teams to reduce re-offending and offer a restorative Justice Service to at least 75% of victims and offenders. This target is difficult to obtain with all the other requirements on the YOT. The Appropriate Adult Service will provide the service as required by the YOT and we do not require a contract or minimum levels of usage. As with our other services, the only rate you pay is an hourly rate whilst we are undertaking the mediation. We can provide mediators for all aspects of direct and indirect mediation on a case by case basis. We can supervise any reparation or community service orders made, and will provide full reports and monitoring back to the YOT. |
