📊 VIP Evaluation 📊
Rocket Science facilitated a workshop yesterday attended by stakeholders, which will inform the impact evaluation of the VIP intervention. Lots of discussion on how the service works with young people within A&E and custody.
#preventionthroughconnection
The YEF Toolkit highlights research on restorative justice used in the criminal justice system as on average having a moderate impact on preventing reoffending.
Key points if using this approach:
➡️ Offer restorative justice to children who come into contact with the criminal justice system.
➡️ Do not force participation in restorative justice.
➡️ Prioritise conferencing and victim-perpetrator mediation.
➡️ Prioritise using facilitators who are not from the police.
