Restorative justice is an ethos
At RJ4All, we view restorative justice as more than just a criminal justice or educational concept. Restorative justice for us is an ethos and a way of living. We we this concept not only in relation to the context and aim of our projects, but also how we run our organisations, make decisions and govern our internal and external affairs. By viewing restorative justice as an ethos we tap into its potential as the bio-power that can face and indeed eliminate power abuses. This approach also allows us to focus on producing project results that view issues such as community cohesion, violence and conflict in a holistic way overcoming the isolated and monolithic ways and thinking.
“Restorative Justice is an ethos with practical goals, among which is to repair harm by including affected parties in a (direct or indirect) encounter and a process of understanding through voluntary and honest dialogue. Restorative justice adopts a fresh approach to conflicts and their control, retaining at the same time certain rehabilitative goals”.

Restorative Justice Referrals!
RJ4All accepts referrals and self-referrals for restorative justice cases. We provide both online and face-to-face restorative justice as well as direct and indirect practices.
We work with all criminal and youth justice agencies as well as individuals (families, groups, harmed and harming parties), and can intervene at any stage in and beyond the criminal and youth justice systems. We can consider a wide range of cases whether these have been reported or not (examples: family conflicts, neighbourhood disputes, anti-social behaviour, personal and property violence, domestic abuse, hate incidents, youth violence, theft).
RJiNEAR Resilience Model
Building the world's first restorative justice postcode project
At RJ4All, we recognise power abuse as a pervasive force driving inequalities, human rights violations, and community tensions. We observe a decline in trust in public services, signaling the need for a renewed social contract. To address these issues, we’re starting locally in South East London, using our postcode (SE16) and the principles of restorative justice to bring together local stakeholders and community members.
Our vision is to establish the first restorative justice postcode in the world. Through this initiative, our goal is to disseminate power more equitably, promoting inclusivity and empowerment. We aim to use our success as evidence for global replication, inspiring similar initiatives worldwide.
