Restitution Fund: guidance
The power to make a restitution order came into force on 10 February 2021. These orders are a financial penalty available to courts to those convicted of assault on police, under section 90 of the Police and Fire Reform Act 2012. The funding received will provide support services for victims.

- every payment made into the Fund,
