In May 2000, the Youth Justice Board for England
and Wales launched a pilot initiative in two
schools in the London borough of Lambeth
using restorative justice conferences to
tackle exclusions, truancy, bullying and
other forms of anti-social behaviour.
Following early signs of promise, in
April 2001, the Board gained three
years, funding under the Treasury’s
Invest to Save scheme to extend the
programme to the borough of
Hammersmith & Fulham, and two
other London boroughs, which
subsequently withdrew from the scheme. (excerpt)
