Handbook on Restorative justice programmes

Securing the commitment of partners and stakeholders: When the
roles of the various programme partners are not spelled out by legislation
or policies, it will be important to specify and secure a commitment from
all stakeholders. When possible, it is desirable to develop inter-agency
protocols and formal agreements (e.g. on matters such as governance,
programme policy setting, public communication, case referrals, joint
training, cost-sharing, information flow, data sharing, protection of pri-
vacy and confidentiality of information, dispute resolution among part-
ners, governance of the programme, etc.).
