Episode description

Bird Podcast returns with their long awaited second season.

Two chicks investigate how Restorative Justice can repair harm, give victims a voice and reduce reoffending in the UK by speaking directly to victims of crime. They share the stories of Wendy and Viv, ambassadors for the Restorative Justice charity ‘Why Me?’ and Anika Cosgrove, expert and practitioner in RJ as they explore what it really means to do time.
