PCC highlights positive work to create safe and prosperous communities in Restorative Justice Week
Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews has welcomed the impact of a project helping residents to resolve neighbourhood disputes using Restorative Justice.
As the nation marked Restorative Justice (RJ) Week, which runs from 17 to 23 November, the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland PCC praised work being undertaken by Restorative Justice Initiative Midlands at Home Farm Centre in Leicester to provide skills training to help residents and community workers promote peaceful solutions to conflict and restore community relationships.
The project, which was visited by Deputy PCC Rani Mahal, received a grant worth almost £10k from the PCC's office which is being used to deliver briefing workshops and training to local stakeholders, faith leaders and police, housing and anti-social behaviour officers.
