Events & Courses
This Restorative Justice Council approved course, with a specific focus on education settings, will give you a clear understanding of the context for the restorative approach and equip you with the skills to build a healthy community within your setting so that relationships are valued, conflict is reduced and learning capacity is enhanced. Designed for busy teachers.
The equivalent of a 3 day course, split into bite-size modules over 5 weeks.
One day in-person workshop to learn foundational skills for facilitating restorative circles.
One day in-person workshop for experienced practitioners to extend their facilitation practice and for managers to expand the scope of their programmes.
This one-year professional diploma is designed specifically for education staff, supporting schools to build strong relationships, respond more effectively to behaviour, and embed a sustainable restorative culture.
Rather than adding pressure, the programme is structured to fit around the realities of school life — with manageable weekly sessions, protected study breaks each half-term, and a strong focus on real-world application. Practical strategies can be applied immediately in your setting. Restorative practice is presented throughout as a protective and empowering approach, not a permissive one.
