  Mitigation and Risk in Restorative Justice (RJ)
1. To consider and draw together a schema of the risks involved to facilitators and individual participants in RJ in individual cases, including both face-to-face and indirect RJ (mediation and conferencing). The project will not consider organisational, systemic or reputational risks (e.g. recidivism or failure to notify outcomes).
2. To draw upon the experience of experienced facilitators in different countries as to the (successful) measures they have adopted to mitigate these risks and the processes necessary, with a view to informing development of practice and policy in Scotland
