Calm Mediation has been successful in its recent bid to deliver restorative justice services in London until 2026. This follows a competitive tendering process run by the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC).
Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime and those responsible for crime into communication to facilitate the repair of harm and to find a positive way forward.
Calm Mediation CEO Ed Procter said:
“Carefully targeted restorative justice has proven to be a powerful means of supporting victims of crime to move on with their lives in the aftermath of trauma. It can prevent further crime by engaging with those responsible for crime and reducing the likelihood of reoffending”
Calm Mediation will be working with Mopac, the Metropolitan Police Service and third-sector providers such as Victim Support and Catch 22 to create a new integrated ecosystem for victim services across London.
The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Sophie Linden, said:
“Restorative Justice brings together victims, witnesses and perpetrators to share their experiences and can help all involved to look to a more positive future. We look forward to working with Calm Mediation to deliver Restorative Justice services across the capital until 2026 as part of our work to support Londoners affected by crime and to reduce and prevent reoffending.”
