Restorative Justice Skills Practice

“Restorative approaches could be used as a whole-school approach or as one strategy in a range of strategies. In fully restorative schools all aspects of the school were restorative.

We will be running Restorative Justice Skills practice workshops once a fortnight for all those who have attended a training course in Restorative Justice. There's nothing worse than seeing newly acquired skills going to waste and/or a lack of confidence from those who just need that added support in their practice to begin using them again.

Our workshops will provide the opportunities to take part in and facilitate role plays to enable fine tuning of restorative practices.

Why be quiet about it, this stuff is transformational and incredibly powerful! We wouldn't want you to miss out, so keep your eyes posted for the first dates. Even better, sign up to our e-bulletin to ensure that you are the first to know of the details.

A lack of knowledge or training were amongst reasons schools gave for not using restorative approaches….”
