Restorative Justice Conferencing - Virtual

The International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP), a globally recognised graduate school and training provider, offers this virtual two-day training in Restorative Justice Conferencing — a structured, facilitated process for addressing harm and repairing relationships in schools and communities. The conferencing model brings together those who have caused harm, those who have been affected, and their supporters in a carefully managed dialogue that moves through distinct phases: understanding what happened, exploring the impact on all parties, and collectively deciding how to make things right. This training equips participants with the skills to facilitate formal restorative conferences, including preparation techniques, scripted questioning frameworks, and strategies for managing the emotional dynamics of the process. The IIRP emphasises starting small with lower-level incidents to build confidence before progressing to more complex situations, and provides ongoing guidance on appropriate use of conferencing across different contexts. Graduates of this training gain a foundational credential in the IIRP's restorative practices framework, with pathways to advanced training including the Training of Trainers program for experienced practitioners.
