Restorative Practices
​In Action

Our Next Training Event Will Take Place Online
Monday 2nd, 9th & 16th November
From 3pm until 5pm
By Zoom
£60 per Delegate
This course covers all you need to be able to undertake Restorative Enquiry and Conversations in your school, community or organisation.  It has been evaluated by teachers, social workers and parents as having changed their views of conflict and increased their skills to deal with conflict and connect better with their students and children in significant and permanent ways. 

In this course you will learn:

  • The Values and Principles underlying Restorative Practices.
  • A comparative analysis of the Traditional Model and the Restorative Model of conflict management. 
  • Why shifting from a blame culture to an accountability culture makes sense and how to begin to do this.
  • We look at behaviour as simple communication and the four messages being communicated with inconvenient behaviour. 
  • How shifting your your lens from "Won't Do" to "Can't Do" will not only increase action to address problems but will also reduce your and your students / children's sense of shame and associated negative behaviours.
  • The relationship between shame and disrupted development and learning in the classroom, the organisation and at home.
  • The underlying goals of inconvenient behaviour and how to address these goals so they are expressed conveniently.
  • How your discipline style has an impact on learning and development of independence.
  • The Three Pillars of Restorative Practice.
  • Restorative language, blaming and shaming language, restorative enquiry and restorative conversations.
  • Restorative Circles and Conferences and where these are best used and when.

All of the above is learned through reference to case examples, interactive case studies and small group exercises giving you the opportunity to practice and test out your learning.
