4 Day Restorative Justice Conference Training for Schools

Our 4 day on-line restorative justice conference training in a primary, secondary and special setting also includes the introductory restorative approaches training so anyone can attend without prior experience. It will be delivered by Restorative Justice 4 Schools a leading training provider of restorative training to schools within the UK and Europe. Our experience of implementing restorative justice conferencing comes from working directly within schools, this allows us to contextualise the implementation and delivering of restorative conferences to challenging and vulnerable pupils, talk about any barriers you are likely to meet and how you may overcome them.

Our four-day on-line restorative justice conference facilitation training will be delivered via Zoom.  It 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:

What unconditional respect, 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 peers/staff 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.
  • How to deliver 1-1 support sessions to pupils with challenging behaviour in the classroom/playground or with peers.
  • Implement an administration system to document and evidence the restorative work undertaken at your school and measure its outcomes.
  • Plan the implementation of a restorative approach within their schools
  • Deliver a restorative chat for manage low level conflict between peers/peers or peers/staff
  • Implement a restorative language and vocabulary within their school.
  • Understand which roles need to be involved and how this can be achieved.
  • Understand the principles of restorative justice and the wider educational approach.
  • Have a clear understanding of how to bring a sanction system and a restorative approach together to reduce conflict and create viable positive alternative to exclusions and other sanctions that change behaviour and create accountability.
  • The course also provides 4 hours of follow on reading to complete the facilitator training.

The course is suitable for senior leadership, teaching, pastoral, support staff as a refresher or as an introduction to restorative approaches within schools.  It is also suitable for local authority staff, care home staff and alternative provision.
