Introduction to Restorative Practice Workshop
The Introduction to Restorative Practice Workshop invites you to build on the skills and knowledge outlined in our Restorative Practice e-learning module Course: Restorative Practice e-learning (learningpool.com)
This is a one-day workshop facilitated by Devon Restorative Practice Advisors and Learning & Development colleagues.
Workshops will be delivered “face to face” in each Devon locality.
By using a range of practitioners based and working in Devon, we are also able to offer follow-up and on-going restorative support and assistance to you and your teams helping to embed learning in day-to-day practice.
What you need to know
· In Devon, Restorative Practice is our ‘way of being’
· Our focus is on building strong, meaningful, trusting and respectful relationships and repairing relationships when difficulties or harm arises
· We know that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes when we do things WITH them rather than TO them, or FOR them.
· Our restorative approach focuses on empowering our children and families to find solutions to their problems and recognises them as experts of their own lives
Please note: before attending the RP Workshop, you need to:
