An incredibly moving memorial event this evening, 25 years since the Srebrenica genocide. Including first hand testimony from Selma Jahic who lived through the war as a child. #EveryActionMatters SrebrenicaSW Huge thanks to Public Feminist for organising.

So impressed by the work of the #ChildrenFirst team including Gloucestershire Constabulary @GlosPCC Youth Support Victim Support Gloucestershire @RJGlos Becca . A great initiative to divert young people from the criminal justice system

Here in Gloucestershire we’re looking for your nominations for great upstanders for the 2020 We Are One Awards. This is what an upstander looks like. Quiet, visible and standing against hate. Respect to Polish MPs for protesting against anti-LGBT rants from their President 1/2

Police officers, Teachers and Supermarket workers. Daily exposure to the risks that most are being told to avoid. Keeping people safe, safeguarding the vulnerable, keeping our kids going, and feeding the nation. Early vaccines would not be much to ask.

Half day “zoom networking” event to discuss #hatecrime Great to see so many faces of people across the county #gloucestershire who do so much to challenge prejudice. #bekind ⁦@GlosPCC⁩ ⁦Glos OPCC⁩ ⁦Gloucestershire Constabulary⁩ ⁦Rod Hansen⁩ ⁦Glos Hate Crime⁩

Good to see you. In 2013 I was asked to fund a pilot project for restorative justice - i said NO! If you (like I ) believe in it, let’s make it ‘main stream’ and we will fund it for the long term . That’s what we did. Thank goodness.

Never forget. #StephenLawrenceDay

Next week is Restorative Justice week. In Chris Nelson | Gloucestershire's PCC’s latest blog he talks about Restorative Justice and its positive effect it can have on victim and perpetrator. gloucestershire-pcc.gov.uk/lets-talk-abou…

… because the world is rarely as simplistic as right/wrong good/bad, because brave & difficult conversations are more likely to create change, because dialogue offers a better solution to complex situations than reactive finger-wagging, because polarizing views don’t help: #RJ

Thanks to my good friends at @RJGlos for sending me one of these for #RJWeek - as someone that teaches and researches #RestorativeJustice, it is important to be led by the evidence!

Just watched the profoundly moving performance of ‘Punch’ Nottingham Playhouse about the Restorative journey of Joan, David and Jacob Dunne. Dedicated to the memory of James Hodgkinson. Incredible piece of theatre.

Thanks to Channel 4 News for highlighting James Graham phenomenal play Punch from Jacob Dunne restorative justice experience. I really hope it transfers soon, as it was utterly brilliant - changing the narrative on what Justice means.
