Restorative Justice Conference Facilitation Training
This training is our advanced restorative justice conference facilitation training that also includes the two-day introductory training, so is suitable as a refresher for staff who have already had the two-day training or as a complete course for anyone who has not been previously trained in restorative practice.
This course will be run by Restorative Justice 4 Schools one of the leading training providers of Restorative Approaches/Justice training to schools within Britain. Our personal experience of implementing a restorative approach comes from working directly within schools, this allows us to contextualise the implementation and delivering of restorative outcomes to pupils and staff and talk about any barriers you are likely to meet and how to overcome them.
Our four-day restorative justice conference facilitation training will enable delegates to build the necessary skills to use formal restorative justice conference facilitation to resolve conflict and repair harm within an education setting. We explore the benefits restorative language and how a shared vocabulary can build communication skills. We will also look at how to build restorative outcomes for challenging and vulnerable pupils, we have delivered a number of long-term projects directly into schools struggling with behaviour and have developed a 1-1 support programme that will underpin the work that is done by the classroom teacher and pastoral staff within the school. Delegates also have the opportunity to look at how to use restorative circles and informal restorative chats to create a positive learning environment, rich in emotional literacy and conflict resolution skills whilst recognising the immense pressure that schools face for RA to be both timely and effective. During the training we will consider:
Restorative Approaches
Shared Language
Restorative Circles
Restorative Learning Agreements
Building Community
Developing Responsibility
Accountability
Restorative Justice Conferencing
Positive Outcomes from Conferencing
Conference Engagement
Conference Preparation
1-1 Support Sessions for Challenging Pupils
RA and pupils with Special Needs
How to manage RJ and Sanctions
What unconditional respect and fairness and reassurance looks like and its benefits when you partner it with positive confrontation and accountability to achieve meaningful outcomes from pupils involved in disruptive behaviour, relationship breakdown with other peers and both low and high level conflict within school.
On Completion of the training delegates will be able to:
• Assess, engage, prepare and deliver informal restorative justice conferences to pupils and staff to reduce conflict and change behaviours creating a permanent sustainable outcome.
