13. A key principle of restorative justice is that of reconciliation, which entails taking into account the views of the victim, their families and others connected to the victim. In good measure, this Bill gives effect to the Service Charter for Victims of Crimes, which was adopted by the Executive in 2006, by, among others, the following provisions: . Specifically including, as diversion options, victim-offender mediation, which is designed to bring together the victim and the child offender, and family group conferencing, which includes not only the victim and child offender but also their respective families. . Encouraging, where reasonably possible, regard for the victim's views by the prosecution on whether or not the matter may be diverted, as well as, in the most serious offences, the victim's views on the nature and content of the diversion option that is being considered, including the payment of compensation or the performance of a specific benefit or service by the child. . Obliging a child justice court to take into account the severity of the impact of the offence on the victim when sentencing a child. . Allowing the prosecution to place before a child justice court a statement by the victim on the physical, psychological, social, financial and other consequences that the crime has had on him or her.
