We are developing a variety of bespoke Training for Trainers packages
to respond to the different needs of teams around the country. We therefore actively encourage those with whom we work to develop their own in-house capacity to deliver training. We continue to support teams once we have trained them, and offer supervision and refresher training. We are currently also developing licencing opportunities for these teams, so that we can support them in developing their own approach, inspired by our model of practice.
Our training and support will help people at a personal, as well as a professional, level to deal more effectively with their own conflicts and challenges and to help others to do so.
All our training - in its content and its delivery - is inspired by the philosophy and principles behind Restorative Justice and we are also great fans of NonViolent Communication, originally developed by Marshal Rosenberg.
Our courses are very practical - people can make a start putting what they have learnt into practice from the day after the course. We also provide some great resources to share with those who take a more reflective approach, and want to look at evidence and theory before taking the plunge.
We are one of the first training providers in the UK to have been awarded the prestigious Restorative Justice Council (RJC) award for training providers, in recognition of the high quality of both the content of our courses (which are linked to National Occupational Standards for Restorative Practice) and our service delivery. You know you are in safe hands with us.
