Accredited Training

Restorative Approaches - NCFE Accredited

Aims: This programme has been designed to enable participants understand where restorative approaches could be used in situations of conflict and to gain confidence in facilitation of such events. An example of where a restorative approach may prove invaluable is in neighbourhood disputes - where neighbours can cause untold distress to those around them just because a 'minor disagreement' has escaladed into major trauma as neighbours are not talking or listening to each other.  Intervention by an NCFE Accredited Restorative Practitioner can work with neighbours, and those affected, to help them find a suitable solution to resolve the situation.

Suitable for: Anyone who may encounter such situations in the workplace, such as those working/volunteering in the community, housing, care, transport, health or education sectors, prisons.

Learning methods: Classroom, group discussions, practical and scenario-based sessions.

Duration: Two days

Cost: If you have more than 12 members of staff to train, we can deliver this training course in-house at a venue to suit you. In house training can significantly reduce your costs, reducing travel time and accommodation expenses.
