About the project
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) has funded Restorative Justice for All (RJ4All) to lead a pilot randomised controlled trial of restorative justice for children and young people in the youth justice system in England and Wales.
The ‘Shared Practice Model’ model sets out ten practical steps for delivering restorative justice with children aged 10 to 17, from referral and risk assessment through to the restorative process, outcome monitoring and follow-up. It establishes a consistent approach while allowing services to respond to local needs.
RJ4All will lead delivery of the programme with support from the Youth Justice Board, while Coram will independently evaluate it, testing both how it is implemented and its impact on reoffending.
