Restorative Practice

Sacro has been working in the field of restorative practice since the mid-1990s. During this time we have delivered adult Restorative Justice services, Youth Justice services and other restorative projects.

Since 2017 the Scottish Community Mediation Centre has been delivering our Restorative Skills course based on over a decade’s experience within Sacro of delivering restorative practice training. Members of the public can now book a place on the course, Approved by the Restorative Justice Council.
