Addressing domestic violence through restorative justice requires careful preparation, strong safeguards, and specialised skills. The Swiss RJ Forum, our organisational member, is offering an intensive training designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to work safely and effectively in these complex cases. Led by Annegrete Johanson, EFRJ Board member who has contributed to developing restorative justice responses to domestic violence in Estonia, and Roberta Schaller, the training combines theoretical grounding with practical, case-based learning. Participants will gain a clear framework for restorative justice in the context of domestic violence, concrete methodologies for practice, and a critical understanding of risks, ethics, and safeguards. For registration details and full fee information, please visit the Swiss RJ Forum website or contact swissrjforum@gmail.com.
