In the community, Restorative Practices (RP) takes the form of Restorative Justice (RJ)-Juvenile Court Systems, Prisons and Police; Mediation and Effective Communication . The term ‘restorative' is about making things right. It looks for ways of repairing some of the harm done. Restorative Justice (RJ), the term used for Juvenile Justice, is a substantial paradigm shift as it sees crime that has taken place, differently |

COMMUNITY > Restorative Justice (RJ) |
| |
RJ gives victims a greater voice in the criminal justice system and allows victims to receive an explanation and more meaningful reparation from offenders. It makes offenders accountable by allowing them to take responsibility for their actions. Studies have shown that RJ approaches can reduce post-traumatic stress disorder in victims and in some cases, motivate offenders to turn away from a life of crime. RJ is may seem soft but in truth, many offenders find it extremely difficult to face up to the impact of their crimes. |
| |
This training is aimed at those who are dealing with the Justice System such as Police, Prison, Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs), Juvenile Justice and others. It is based on the core conduct of Restorative Justice (RJ) Conferences. |
| |
The trainings will focus on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to work in a social setting. There will be a combination of lectures, role plays and practices intended to provide the knowledge and skills required to run conferences effectively. The modules are intended to be highly interactive and practical. |

| COMMUNITY >Mediation |
| |
Mediation, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), aims to allow two (or more) disputants to reach a mutually agreed settlement to a dispute - rather than accepting something imposed by a third party. Mediators use appropriate techniques and/or skills to open and/or improve dialogue between disputants, aiming to help the parties reach an agreement (with concrete effects) on the disputed matter. |
|
| |
Restorative mediation brings into the process the principles and values of RJ. While subscribing to the basic format of mediation, restorative mediation aims to bring in more then just the disputing parties to a session. It engages others who will be affected by the agreement to give inputs either during or before the session. It is a more embracing way of managing disputes. |
