A LEADING facilitator for UK Restorative Justice – Remedi UK – has joined forces with Cheshire Police to help criminals turn their back on a life of crime.

The company – which started work at the start of the month – will provide restorative justice and mediation service.

Police and crime commissioner David Keane welcomed the news of the new appointment.

He said: “Having Remedi UK on board is a great result for the people of Cheshire.

"Not only do they have a solid track record in delivering services for victims but they will also provide renewed focus on partnership working, multi-agency training and crucially, engaging the community through volunteering.”

“They have a solid foundation to build on, following the work of Victim Support over the last 18 months."
