Caveat
This training course has been designed to inform and improve the knowledge and skills of experienced restorative practitioners in dealing with those affected by Harmful Sexual Behaviour. This course does not seek to authorise or qualify practitioners to deal with these cases. The decision whether an individual practitioner has the skills and knowledge to deal with a particular case will be a matter for that practitioner and their manager.
