No. It is important to understand that Restorative Justice is a process and may not end up as a face-to-face meeting. For example, a letter of apology may be received, or a video message can be used to express a person’s view - that could be the offender’s view, the victim’s view, or both.
The method of 'conversation' will be tailored to the individual case and all parties' needs and wishes. Participation is always voluntary, and requires both the victim and offender to agree.
A victim can have someone with them to support them during the process. Or, if it is preferred, someone else can represent the victim.
