This is a fresh approach to the practice of restorative justice. It explores how seven elements of restorative processes can be combined to create an exemplary experience of restoration of whatever has been damaged, lost or violated by being harmed or harming someone. Each element has seven components, not all of which will be applicable to specific participants addressing specific harms. It follows that every restorative process is a unique event and experience. This requires each process to be co-designed with the participants. The co-design process considers the quality of seven critical entities that are present at a restorative meeting and dialogue.
This approved course is an intensive and comprehensive immersion in the ethos and practice skills used to apply a restorative lens to the task of relationship repair, the addressing of harm and the growth of community. This Restorative Practice Facilitation Skills course is unique, in that it incorporates tuition in enhanced practitioner skills using a unique method of engagement, enabling greater inclusion of parties in the process. Prior knowledge of restorative practice is not a pre-requisite for undertaking this course.
