At RJ Working we:
Believe every young person should have the right to access Restorative principles as part of their education
Use Restorative Practice training to equip young people to better look after themselves and each other, in person and online
Recognise the value of young people’s lived experience and the potential of Restorative practice to empower their leadership
Support young people’s commitment to tackle harms to identity, especially racism, and their commitment to climate justice.
Being ‘Restorative’ is available to anyone…it is about making changes for the better, sorting things out, finding ways to talk things over and learning about different points of view.
Since 2017 we have been working with children and young people in various communities, whether in schools and colleges or communities of interest through arts and environmental programmes.
As of January 2022 RJ Working is a registered charity (number 1197378).
RJ Working was established in 2012 by four women, all with either professional or personal experience of the criminal justice system. Wanting to make the experience of this system better, the organisation started working with communities at the margins of the criminal justice system.
In 2014, we apprenticed ourselves to Ulster University in Northern Ireland where Restorative Justice has transformed conflict, crime and the empowerment of young people’s voice.
In 2016 our Board took the decision to focus specifically on school and college communities, with the intention that a whole generation of young people would learn Restorative Practice as part of their education.
ImpactOur expertise has been formally recognised by the Restorative Justice Council with the award of their Registered Training Provider status. All of our Practitioners are either Associate or Accredited Members of the Restorative Justice Council.
The RJC promotes quality Restorative Practice for everyone in the UK.
