Restorative Practice

 

 

History of Sacro and restorative practice

Sacro has been working in the field of restorative practice since at least the mid-1990s. 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. Prior to this, our Sacro colleagues delivered restorative practice training for staff and volunteers for over a decade.

 

Members of the public can now book a place on the course, Approved by the Restorative Justice Council.
