❓ FAQ: Is Restorative Justice confidential?

Confidentiality is an important part of the process.

Before any Restorative Justice activity takes place, facilitators explain how information will be handled and any circumstances where confidentiality may need to be breached for safeguarding purposes.

We'll ensure everyone understands the process before moving forward.

❓ FAQ: Does the person who caused the harm have to agree?

Yes.

Restorative Justice can only take place when everyone involved chooses to take part voluntarily.
If one person does not wish to participate, we will discuss alternative options and continue to offer support where appropriate.

A successful Restorative Justice process is built on willingness, respect, and informed choice.

❓ FAQ: Will I be expected to forgive?

No.

Restorative Justice is not about forgiveness.
For some people, taking part can help them move forward. For others, it's about receiving answers, being heard, or explaining the impact of what happened.
There is never any expectation that a victim should forgive or reconcile.

The process is about providing opportunities—not expectations.

❓ FAQ: Do I have to meet the person who caused the harm?

No.

Many people assume Restorative Justice always involves a face-to-face meeting.
In reality, there are different ways to take part.
You may choose to:
✅ Exchange letters
✅ Share questions through a facilitator
✅ Record a message
✅ Take part in an indirect process

Our team will work with you to explore what feels right for you.
Participation is always voluntary, and your safety and wellbeing remain our priority throughout.
💜 Your voice. Your choice.
