As a victim of crime you have the right to be heard.
The Restorative Justice Team has designated Victim Workers who will contact victims of crime committed by young people and update the victims with progress and outcomes.
You are given the opportunity to tell us how you have been affected by the offence and explore any questions or feedback you wish for us to take forward.
Any contact you have with us is your choice and designed to benefit you.
The ways the YJS can work with you could include:

This might take the form of:
Restorative Justice is a voluntary process on the part of all those involved, anything we do will always be with your permission. Meetings will take place only if both parties agree.
