<p>The Government recognises the value of restorative justice and the benefits it
can bring to enable victims to cope and recover, and for offenders to be part of that
process.</p><p>As part of the core funding provided to Police Crime and Commissioners
(PCCs) for victim support services, they are able to commission restorative justice
services according to their local need. This year, MoJ has allocated around £64.3m
to PCCs for core funding. For information, in 20/21, PCCs spent around £3.7m from
their core funding on restorative justice. PCCs are also able to utilise other funding
streams outside of their MoJ grant for restorative justice.</p><p>In addition, the
Government has provided £4.6m this financial year to fund the Homicide Service. This
service provides practical and emotional support to families bereaved by Homicide,
including access to restorative justice services</p>
