Principles and Practices of Restorative Justice - Foundation

This is a fresh approach to restorative justice practices based upon extensive research into lived experience of participants and practice-based evidence. It consists of 5 two hour webinars reflecting on the new framework for practice and three in-person days practising the competences and conversations and contextually applying the values, principles and concepts.

Trainers: Tim Chapman and Anika Cosgrove (Why me)

Accreditation
This is a Restorative Justice Council accredited course enabling those who complete it to apply to be Registered Practitioners. To qualify for accreditation, it is necessary to participate in all the online sessions and the in-person days.

This course is for you if:
 You wish to learn how to engage victims of harm because you believe that their inclusion and participation are critical to the effectiveness of restorative justice.
 You believe that restorative justice is value-led and that restorative processes should be co-designed with participants to address what matters to them.
 You believe that narratives and open dialogue generate understanding, responsibility, and commitment to participate more effectively than scripted interviews.
 You believe that most harm includes a context of power and undoing injustice and restoring power is a primary motivation of both the victim and perpetrator of harm.
 You want participants to have an experience of community that frees them from the past and restores new possibilities for the future.

This learning is based upon research into lived experience and practice-based evidence.
