In Crown Court today on Witness Support duty. Only 6 out of 15 courts sitting. My case adjourned for 3rd time at 2 pm due to lack of court availability - alleged offence committed over 2 years ago. Is this really putting victims at the heart of the CJS?

"An astonishing CV and an astonishing instance of falling upwards." Well said @mrjamesob #LBC - a monologue that should be shared and rebroadcast. Credit to @PrivateEyeNews for the research into Dido Harding's CV.

Congratulations to Moss Park and St Vincent’s schools the joint winners of today’s MIC Mock Trial competition held on Zoom. Thanks to all concerned and well done everyone who took part @MagsAssoc #HighSheriffs
Just ‘discovered’ Jakub Jozef Orlinski & @KingsSingers singing Purcell “Music for a While”. What a voice. Absolutely stunning. More please.

We have launched our latest Valuing Victims' report, which uses a Freedom of Information request to analyse the Ministry of Justice's data on the provision of #RestorativeJustice across the country.

A few observations... [1/5]

The report contains 6 examples of different practice from restorative services across the country.
Thanks @RemediRj @RestorativeSol1 @RJGlos @RestorativeHub for your help with this. It shines a line on how different services are trying to improve their restorative offer. [4/5]
Just had my final Trustee Board meeting with @whymeUK after about 5 yrs as trustee and chair. This is an exciting time for them and I leave with every anticipation that their overriding aim that everyone who needs it has the knowledge of and the right to RJ. Good luck and adieu.

Oh joy! 2-0 to the Manc reds. Why couldn’t they play like this against Palace et al. And the reds 35 miles down the road losing again. Another scotch?

Thank you so much to North Wale's PCC @ArfonJ for #SigningTheRJPledge
Although not running in the upcoming election it's really positive to see a current PCC acknowledge the importance of Restorative Justice.
Get your PCC candidates to #SignTheRJPledge

The Police & Crime Commissioner elections are this May.
We are asking all candidates to #SignTheRJPledge, committing to ensure that any victim of crime is informed about Restorative Justice, and can decide for themself if they want a referral.

WE ARE HIRING!
Why me? are looking for a Restorative Justice Development Officer to help with our current projects.
Read the full job description and how to apply here: why-me.org/2020/we-are-hirin…
What doesn’t help is the length of time victims and other witnesses are kept hanging about in Witness Suites before they even get to give their evidence. Does anyone collect this data, because it would be very damning. “Bystanders” is spot on. theguardian.com/law/2020/dec…

Janika was stabbed by her ex partner.
She wanted Restorative Justice so that she could face him again and hold him accountable for his actions.
After the meeting Janika felt like she could breathe again.
