Enabling quality restorative justice in youth offending teams #RJC_YOTs
20 Jan 2015

RJC conference shows YOTs’ commitment to restorative justice

The RJC’s sold-out event Enabling quality restorative justice in youth offending teams (YOTs) had 100 attendees and many more watching the live streaming, demonstrating the strong support for restorative justice among youth justice professionals.  

The RJC’s CEO, Jon Collins, said: “The feedback we got from participants on the day was really positive – there’s some great work going on in YOTs around the country, and this was an excellent opportunity for people to share best practice, and talk about the future of youth justice. We’re delighted that restorative justice is clearly firmly embedded in the work of YOTs.”  

Both speakers and delegates brought extensive expertise to the conference. Keynote speakers included Jon Collins, the Rt Hon Lord McNally, the chair of the Youth Justice Board (YJB) and Tim Chapman, lecturer in restorative practices at the University of Ulster.
