CIRCLE SPEAK TRAINING IN RESTORATIVE PRACTICES Held at the Community Hall,
First Fremantle Housing Cooperative, |
|
Restorative Justice involves Restorative Practices which cover a range of interventions and approaches to dealing with incidents of harm. In a supportive environment, restorative interventions focus on what has happened, who is responsible and how others have been affected by the actions of another. When the harm has been acknowledged, participants are more able to bring a sense of closure and relationships can be built or strengthened. Neither a counselling or mediation process, conferencing is a straight forward problem-solving method that demonstrates how people can resolve their own problems when provided with a constructive forum to do so... This process can be transferred to schools, workplaces, courts, ...in fact any situation where conflict, violence, and harm is occurring. The primary objectives of restorative justice are a to provide community a oriented approach which empowers all involved by
Adopting a restorative focus to the way we do things, can have a positive impact on changing the environment in which we live, work or teach. Schools that have adopted the full range of restorative practices have reported up to 50% reductions in suspensions and serious behavioural incidents, within the first 6-12 months. These skills can be transferred to many different circumstances and contexts. The two day training will provide a comprehensive overview of the theory that underpins restorative practices and an opportunity for participants to put this into practice. Throughout the training, participants will have the opportunity to practice small to large scale interventions, experience community building initiatives and learn how to apply this to their relevant work, school or community environment.
