Accessing Restorative Justice
Have you been affected by crime or conflict? Do you still think about it? Do you have unanswered questions? Is there more that you need to say?
Have you thought about Restorative Justice?
Restorative Justice is a transformative tool that facilitates communication between the person affected by a crime and the person responsible. You can learn more about Restorative Justice and how it has helped people affected by crime here.
If you want to access Restorative Justice, please contact your local provider (see our interactive map below).
Please note that by having an initial meeting with a facilitator, you are not committing yourself to anything further. In itself, exploring the possibility of a restorative process with a trained professional can be beneficial and help you to understand your needs.

Why me?’s Restorative Justice service
Why me? ran a Restorative Justice Service between 2015 and 2024, at a time when access to Restorative Justice across England and Wales was limited. During this time, provision has greatly increased with all police areas now providing a local Restorative Justice service, due partly to our own campaigning efforts.
Why me? now runs a Restorative Justice helpline. Our Restorative Justice coordinator can talk with you in confidence to determine if Restorative Justice is appropriate in your case and help direct you to the right service.
Please contact us on rjservice@why-me.org, and please include information on where you are based and we will help you access RJ.
