Remedi – Restorative Services awarded Registered Training Provider status
The RJC is pleased to announce that Remedi – Restorative Services have been awarded Registered Training Provider status.
Operational since 1996, Remedi are a restorative justice service and training provider working in prisons, schools, youth offending teams and in partnership with police, probation and social care to deliver restorative practice-based initiatives. These range from supporting victims of crime, victims of domestic abuse, specialised youth services, mentoring and working with families.
Building on their front-line work, Remedi have developed a suite of practical training courses to support and empower professionals to be restorative in their practice. This includes developing tailored courses for a diverse range of professionals including prison officers, police officers, housing workers, social workers and family support workers, school staff, young people, youth justice workers and many more.
Each course starts by asking participants to self-reflect and think about who they are, what they are trying to do and what emotional, physical and systemic barriers can prevent them working WITH others.
From this starting point, participants reflect outward to the implications and applications of being restorative in their context, whether that is in the form of one-to-one support, group facilitation or circle and conference facilitation. Courses look at how being restorative enables others to feel SAFE, VALUED, HEARD and INCLUDED and brings them into a space where they too can work WITH.
This ethos is reflected within Remedi’s training offer. Preferring to work WITH customers to assess need, develop learning goals and design tailored training programmes that meet their needs, Remedi does not ‘off the rack’ courses.
