CORE TRAININGS
Introduction to Restorative Practices
Thoroughly understand restorative concepts, and learn effective strategies for use in both Schools and Care settings in managing student/Looked After Children (LAC) behaviour and teaching them to take responsibility for their actions.
Using Circles Effectively
Learn the value and process of circles—practical and effective tools for creating a positive classroom climate in Schools (both Secondary and Primary) and Looked After Children settings (LAC), which you will be able to use immediately.
Facilitator Skills Training—Standard Level
This course prepares participants to run restorative justice conferences and to use restorative practices in their everyday roles.
Facilitator Skills Training—Advanced Level
The “Advanced” course is designed to build upon existing facilitation skills and prepare participants to facilitate conferences involving unacknowledged harm and/or unaccepted responsibility. It is therefore a prerequisite that participants have previously attended our Facilitator Skills Training—Standard Level
The aim of the day will be to give attendees an understanding of restorative practices and several processes that they can begin to use in their daily work in neighbourhoods.
SPECIALISED TRAININGS

Many people have asked about becoming restorative conferencing and practices trainers to provide the Restorative Practices: Facilitator Skills Training we deliver in the UK & Ireland and use our educational and training materials. As a non-profit organisation, we know that we must involve a wide range of individuals and organisations with us in order to accomplish our mission to spread the concept of conferencing and restorative practices, while maintaining high standards of quality.

Restorative Practices: An Anti-Bullying Strategy Workshop
