What’s it really like to go through the justice system? Experts by Experience starts by asking – and listening.
Created by Catch22Minutes, this series puts lived experience at the heart of the conversation. In each episode, we hear from people who have been through the justice system, as well as professionals working to change it from the inside.
In this episode of Experts by Experience, Nic speaks with Daniel Cunningham, Restorative Justice Lead at Victim First.
Daniel shares his journey into restorative justice and offers a powerful look at how this approach works in practice. From what the process involves to the benefits – and challenges – for both victims and those who’ve caused harm, he breaks down what it really means to pursue healing after crime.
Drawing on real cases, Daniel explores how safe, structured conversations between victims and perpetrators can lead to understanding, accountability, and even closure.
