From 1st April 2019 the ‘London Victim and Witness Service’ (LVWS) led by Victim Support will be available across London and Restorative Justice (RJ) is an embedded part of that provision. Calm Mediation will be the provider of RJ and casework can be referred via restorativejustice@calmmediation.org or call 020 7603 4014.
Calm Mediation have provided RJ in London since 2004 and has helped many victims move on after they have been harmed by crime. Typifying the response of victims who particpate in RJ, one recent service user said: “It made a traumatic journey a lot easier”.
Our experienced facilitators, most of whom are trained in serious and complex casework, volunteer their time and support to help victims find their voice and understand what happened and why. We also help the offender to understand the damage caused and acknowledge how their actions have affected the victim. The offender may offer a verbal or written expression of regret.
