KW Consultancy & Training Ltd., formerly operating as Ken Webster Consultancy and Training has been an independent training organisation since May 2000 in the United Kingdom. In excess of 98% of those trained have rated the trainers as either very good or excellent whilst over 97% have rated the course content as either very good or excellent. A study of police based restorative cautioning pilots in Northern Ireland recently published by the Northern Ireland Office, commented on the training as follows: "Evaluations of the training were, without exception, highly positive. It was described as exhausting, enjoyable, great benefit, practical, participative, realistic, safe, honest, "the best course I've been on". The trainers came from outside the police and this helped students to speak freely about their anxieties". Comments about the training from previous course participants: "Thank you for an excellent week's course. The
safe learning environment, at times intense, was extremely well handled." "It is a long time since I enjoyed a course
so much. It was excellent, informative, interesting and the sensitive
way in which the trainers dealt with the students' concerns and anxieties
was second to none." "An excellent course with the added dimension
of encouraging interagency relationships and co-operation." "It was a challenging course which stretched
me beyond my 'comfort zone' and was a huge learning curve." "The training will assist in all of my working
practices with young people and my staff and managers." "A terrific insight into the power of Restorative
Conferencing" "This was a brilliant course. The honesty of
both trainers was welcome and put us all at ease with the learning environment.
The openness enabled all students to participate freely and obtain maximum
benefit." "I have gained a lot of valuable experience,
enhanced skills and gained knowledge about the restorative process which
is transferable into my day-to-day work." "Greatly enhanced my knowledge and skills to
use the (Restorative Justice) process in my work with families and children
in care." "I thoroughly enjoyed the week's training and
the skills I have gained can be transferred into the youth service to
resolve conflict." "I teach and train at a further education college
and I intend to introduce your excellent practice into my own." "The organising of the role-plays was excellent,
each one being individual and having its own learning aspects. A very
positive experience." "The only course I have ever done in 5 days
which I looked forward to each day and am sorry it is ending. I thoroughly
enjoyed the course and the trainers' style allowed people to learn in
a way that didn't detract from the 'fun' element." "An excellent opportunity with excellent training,
trainers and training group. The course was perfect for healing of broken
relationships in our communities. The training process was healing in
itself. It is so reassuring to know that the Restorative Justice training
here is being provided by such skilled, well-informed and impartial trainers
" "It was a very enjoyable course where fun and
learning mixed perfectly and the trainers helped everyone to settle into
the course and feel at ease." "The course worked for me brilliantly. For me,
you created one of the safest learning environments I have ever been lucky
enough to be part of. You have tremendous skills, natural abilities and
talents to bring the best out of others." "An excellent course which I dreaded, however,
my fears were quickly dispelled by the trainer's understanding, empathy
and compassion." "Excellent 5 days and I enjoyed every minute
with great work by the trainers." "A fantastic learning experience which enabled
me to build, for the first time, a good relationship with colleagues from
the police service." "The course gave me the opportunity to unload
some of the problems I have unknowingly carried for 20 years and I can
see the value of allowing and encouraging people to be comfortable about
discussing the problems that concern them." "All the course was brilliant. The practice
element was most important as we had the opportunity to learn through
doing."
