The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to promote the use of restorative justice.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

Restorative justice can improve victim satisfaction and reduce reoffending. Victims must be informed about restorative justice under the Victims’ Code.

We provide grant funding to Police and Crime Commissioners for victim support services, including restorative justice.
