The Restorative Justice Clinical Program is an innovative suite of experiential learning activities, based at the University of Kent. Launched in January 2023, our mission is to enrich Kent students’ education by providing unique opportunities to develop their vocational skills and to support local communities with free restorative justice services.
The Director of the Program is Dr Giuseppe Maglione, a restorative justice expert and practitioner with extensive experience.
Being involved in restorative justice fosters a sense of empowerment and agency.
