What courses are available?
In addition to offering the full 5-day restorative
processes facilitator training, other training courses include a 1-day
restorative justice awareness course for managers whose staff are carrying
out the role of restorative justice facilitators in order that those managers
are aware of the implications for them, their respective organisations
and their staff. A 2 to 3 day course is available specifically for those
members of staff working in the context of criminal justice whose duties
include administering a restorative reprimand, final warning or caution
for young people who have offended and who meet the respective criteria.
It should be borne in mind that those members of staff who participate
in this course would NOT be considered sufficiently competent to facilitate
a full restorative process attended by those who have been victims of
crime involving theft of personal possessions, assault, robbery etc.
What does the training involve?
Restorative processes training is provided for a minimum
of 8 students in order that each can obtain maximum benefit from the course
and others' experience, with a maximum of 24. The training is normally
at a location chosen and arranged by the client and is recommended to
be of 5 days' duration. However, arrangements can be made to provide modular
training for clients who are unable to set aside a block of 5 days at
any one time. Awareness training and restorative reprimand, final warning
and cautioning training can be arranged for at least 6 students.
When selecting a training provider, service managers
may need to look closely at the duration and content of the course as
some of the other training providers may not provide sufficient time
for all students to practice the skills of a facilitator in a safe learning
environment. Another important aspect of the 5-day training is that,
by way of skills practice exercises, it provides students with an understanding
of the issues as they affect all potential restorative conference participants.
This, again, may not be provided on courses of shorter duration provided
by other trainers.
Who should attend the training sessions?
The training is appropriate for anyone in the voluntary,
public and private sectors working with people affected by, or involved
in, offending behaviour whether or not that offending behaviour is within
the context of the criminal justice system.
How much does the training cost?
The cost of training depends on the type of course
required. The price quoted to individual clients includes trainers' travelling
expenses to and from the training venue but excludes the cost of trainers'
accommodation and food when required and any costs associated with the
provision of a training venue.
What training facilities are required?
For a full course of 24 students, one large training
room equipped with dry-wipe boards, flip chart easel and pads, overhead
projector and screen is required. Additionally, a syndicate room with
seating for 13 people is required for the latter half of the training
when the students are separated into 2 groups of twelve, each group working
with one trainer.
