As the Scottish Government Restorative Justice (RJ) Action Plan progresses, consideration is given to how those who wish to, can access RJ. Although the details of the national referral routes are still unclear due to awaiting clarity from the Scottish Government, in line with the Scottish Government’s vision any child who has been harmed can request a RJ process to be considered. Additionally, any child whose behaviour has caused harm can also request the consideration of an RJ process.
This Information Sheet (written by Pamela Morrison) looks at the ways in which children who have been harmed can request a RJ process including those whose behaviour has caused harm.
