What practical next steps can be taken to move towards greater use and embedding of restorative approaches within the police force in the UK? In light of recent high profile cases of police misconduct, how can the police force respond restoratively?

Join us as we explore the use of restorative approaches to improve external police relations (e.g. between police and the community) and internal police relations (e.g. grievances, team dynamics).

Dr Kerry Clamp will bring insights from research and academia and Paul Mukasa will share ideas based on his extensive practitioner experience, including work on a project to improve relations between the police and young people.

We will end the event with an opportunity for questions and discussion.

Paul Mukasa has been a practitioner for thirteen years, and managed volunteer practitioners from 2016 till 2022. He now mentors new and experienced practitioners and continues to facilitate and supervise a caseload. He facilitates a wide range of cases involving neighbourhood and workplace disputes, burglary, accidental death, harmful sexual behaviour, and murder. He started his restorative career working in Gloucester Prison facilitating restorative interventions with the offenders and their victims. He has co-developed and run restorative forums which bring young people together with Police to examine perceptions, behaviours and look at ways of doing things differently to achieve improved relationships, which won the Howard League Restorative Approaches Award in 2016.
