WCJB ‘Community Payback’ Conference (invite only)
Yeoman and Wessex Rooms, Devizes Corn Exchange, Market Place, Devizes, 9am -2pm

The Conference aims to inform the wider community and media representatives about restorative justice in Wiltshire. Restorative justice gives victims the chance to show offenders the real impact of their crime, so that they can do something to repair the harm. It holds offenders to account for what they have done, personally and directly, and helps victims to get on with their lives. Restorative justice can take place when the offender has already been sentenced, in prison or in the community.

The guest speakers will be Sir Charles Pollard QPM, Chairman of the Winchester Restorative Justice Group, and ‘Restorative Solutions’ - a Community Interest Company, and Griff Daniels, Community Involvement Manager, Wiltshire Youth Offending Service, who will speak about restorative justice on national and local levels respectively.
Media are invited to attend. There will be opportunities for photographs/interviews throughout the day. Members of community groups across Wiltshire are invited to attend this event.
