To ensure that this programme meaningfully reflects your experiences, we are hosting Listening and Learning Circles across the UK. These sessions offer a valuable opportunity for you to share your thoughts and feelings, helping us create a restorative justice initiative that prioritises what matters most to you.
Our commitment is to ensure that your voices are heard throughout this process, allowing us to develop a high-quality programme for those impacted by the Horizon Scandal.
APPROACH
About our Listening and Learning Circles
A Call for Restorative Justice
In the first report of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, Sir Wyn Williams recommended establishing a restorative justice programme focused on healing and accountability. The Post Office, Fujitsu, and the Department for Business and Trade have accepted this recommendation and commissioned the Restorative Justice Council to lead this important work.
Listening to those Affected
As we move into this next phase of creating a restorative programme that truly meets your needs, we are holding additional Listening Session. These sessions provide you with an opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings, helping shape a programme that reflects what is most important to you.
Safe and Supportive Spaces
It's important to note that representatives from the Post Office and Fujitsu will not be present at the Listening and Learning Circles, ensuring these spaces are entirely focused on you and your experiences.
When and Where
The sessions will take place in Online throughout November and December.
Shaping the Future
Your involvement is completely voluntary. You are welcome to speak, listen, or take a break whenever you need. We will collaboratively establish ground rules to ensure everyone feels safe and respected. These sessions are not formal meetings with representatives from the Post Office or Fujitsu; rather, they are opportunities for you to share your insights and guide the development of future restorative programmes.
MEETINGS
When and Where are the meetings
We are organising meetings where victims can share their experiences and contribute to designing a restorative justice program. The sessions will take place on the following dates and locations:
Online - Families
13th November 18:30 - 20:30
This session is exclusively for family members of those harmed by the scandal. We understand the deep and lasting effects this has had on loved ones, and this session will provide a space for families to share their perspectives and help shape a future restorative programme.
Online - Children
26th November 18:30 - 20:30
This session is specifically for children who have been affected—whether directly or through the experiences of their parents or guardians. We recognise the unique impact this has had on younger generations and want to ensure their voices are included in this process.
