Ms Susanna Gillespie:

I will just add that the judge at the minute can issue a community sanction that could involve restorative justice. This can happen at the minute already, or even a probation order whereby the person can go and say sorry and that kind of thing. That can and does happen at the minute. Therefore, the restorative justice element at court and diversion are already there.
