Public confidence in justice is fragile, and restorative justice remains overlooked. Repairing Trust is a fast paced, one day summit uniting practitioners, policymakers, community organisations, and people with lived experience to co design a bold national awareness campaign.
Through inspiring insights, hands on workshops, and a dynamic co design lab, attendees will shape compelling messages, a strong visual identity, and practical engagement tools.
Together, we will explore how restorative justice can rebuild trust across communities and institutions.
This summit is for anyone committed to fairness, transparency, and elevating restorative justice on the national stage.
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.
This Restorative Justice Council approved course, with a specific focus on education settings, will give you a clear understanding of the context for the restorative approach and equip you with the skills to build a healthy community within your setting so that relationships are valued, conflict is reduced and learning capacity is enhanced. Designed for busy teachers.
The equivalent of a 3 day course, split into bite-size modules over 5 weeks.
One day in-person workshop to learn foundational skills for facilitating restorative circles.
One day in-person workshop for experienced practitioners to extend their facilitation practice and for managers to expand the scope of their programmes.
This one-year professional diploma is designed specifically for education staff, supporting schools to build strong relationships, respond more effectively to behaviour, and embed a sustainable restorative culture.
Rather than adding pressure, the programme is structured to fit around the realities of school life — with manageable weekly sessions, protected study breaks each half-term, and a strong focus on real-world application. Practical strategies can be applied immediately in your setting. Restorative practice is presented throughout as a protective and empowering approach, not a permissive one.
This is the ideal training if you would like to apply for a role within the
RJ field, particularly within the Criminal Justice System.
