Restorative Justice and Human Rights in Action

Introducing the Essex Independent Custody Visiting Scheme and the Essex Restorative & Mediation Service Restorative Justice and Human Rights in Action Join us in person in Room CTC.2.01 to explore restorative justice and human rights in action. What is the theory of restorative justice in relation to experiences of conflict, criminal offenses and anti-social behaviour, and how is it practiced here in Essex? What rights do detainees have while in police custody in the UK, and what safeguards are in place to ensure these rights are protected? This seminar provides a unique opportunity for undergraduates in Law, Psychology, Sociology & Criminology, and Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies to learn more about these core issues and to see how they are practiced here locally by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex. The presentation also includes an information on local volunteering opportunities for students within both areas. We will hear from Kasia Grabka, Independent Custody Visiting & Animal Welfare Scheme Manager Bethany Batterham, Essex Restorative & Mediation Service Coordinator Toni Buck, Essex Restorative & Mediation Service Administrator
