Next Steps for Restorative Justice in Scotland: Stakeholder Insights and Pathways Forward

Summary: 

This webinar will provide summary findings from Restorative Justice in Scotland: A Day of Reflection, Learning and Action, with a focus on children and young people, which took place in Glasgow in November 2025, hosted by the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) and supported by Scottish Government. The event invited 80 leaders, policy makers, experienced restorative justice (RJ) practitioners, and academics from a broad range of statutory and third sector organisations across Scotland to reflect on learning from the current RJ landscape, and to work together to co-produce next steps for overcoming barriers to ensure RJ is available to all. Key findings from the event were published in this paper (Report Link) which will be shared, with opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues raised.

Targeted audience

Delegates from the event and wider stakeholders invested in the development of RJ in Scotland; namely statutory and third sector leaders, policy makers, experienced restorative justice (RJ) practitioners, and academics.
