Restorative Justice and Peer Mediation
The Building Youth Resilience RJ4All video-series aim to give children, young people and their families the skills and knowledge to become more resilient when it comes to violence and marginalisation. They also aim to train young people, students and non professionals on the the values and practices of restorative justice and human rights in order to increase their awareness on the risks associated with gangs and violent radicalisation. The series can be particularly useful as an online tool to be used by students in primary and secondary education in the UK but it has been designed for any person who wants to know more about the topic.
The series are also part of our Restoring Communities local programme in South East London. To learn more about our local work in Rotherhithe and South East London watch the video below. For any questions or to work with us please email admin@rj4all.org

Violence and Domestic Abuse
Since the beginning of the lockdown, many countries have reported a surge in cases of domestic and sexual violence, also known as gender-based violence (GBV), as well as violence against children. Moreover, there is evidence of perpetrators using lockdown measures to exploit and abuse child child contact arrangements. As a response to this, we have added a video to our project addressing Domestic Abuse.
At this time, children are at heightened risk of all forms of violence, including neglect, violent discipline by family members and emotional abuse. Removing children from a protective environment such as school, exacerbates these risks.
