Restorative Cleveland recognised for high-quality service
A partnership responsible for delivering restorative justice across Cleveland has received a national accreditation for its high-quality work.
Restorative Cleveland has been awarded the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM) – an external accreditation guaranteeing the service meets the six standards established by the Restorative Justice Council.
Thirteen organisations including the police, local authorities, victim services and probation services, work together to ensure victims have access to high quality restorative justice provision.
Since its launch in April 2018, the team have handled 29 cases, with a victim satisfaction rate of over 95%.
Barry Coppinger, Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland, said: “I’m delighted that Restorative Cleveland has been awarded the RSQM. The success of the partnership is a testament to the power of agencies working together towards an improved outcome for victims.”
