Description

This short Award in Restorative Practice (RP) will give learners the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, understanding and necessary skills set to become effective restorative practitioners. Learners will track the development of RP historically, from its ancient roots, to becoming a global social movement that promotes Active Citizenship and learn about different approaches to conflict resolution and the dynamics of conflict.

Learners will be expected to distinguish between Restorative Practice and other restorative approaches, within different contexts and usages, including restorative justice, mediation and family welfare conferencing.

Learners will explore the theoretical background to RP, including the study of Affect and Change theories and Emotional Intelligence. Therefore, learners will be provided with the information and support to develop and augment their existing professional skills, by incorporating a Restorative Practice ‘skill-set.’ This will include; active listening skills, being fair, emotional intelligence development, the promotion and building of Social Capital, the effective use of restorative language, questions and conversations and the ability to be present to everyone’s needs during restorative interventions – in circles, meetings and conferences – when harm has occurred.

As part of this award, learners will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of how RP has developed at national and international level and how it has been incorporated within national and international policy and legislation and how RP can be embedded into organisational structures and working cultures. Learners will also be given the opportunity to identify and design RP Implementation Strategies, within their own work settings.

Learners will follow this course on-line. Learners who take this course would be expected to spend 150hrs as contact on-line. Participation in the discussions and webinars are part of these contact hours and is a requirement. Being an accredited course, learners would need to complete the assessments or tests as part of each unit to be able to progress to the next unit. Learners will achieve this course once all units have been completed successfully. Learners are to complete the units according to stipulated time-frames
