Please note: If you choose to pay bank transfer the system only recognises you as registered participant once the amount arrives to our account. Hence, the number of people who are indicated here on the site is lower than actual registrations we receive. The time stamp on your registration will determine if you fit into the maximum number of participants of this course. If the number of  participants exceeds the maximum number allowed we will put you on a waiting list. If we don't have more available spots, you will be offered to participate in the same course organised another time or you will have the option to get fully refunded.

Objectives

Participants will…

  • understand that restorative justice with serious harm has both benefits and risks and that these must be assessed and managed. 
  • have sufficient understanding of the issue of power imbalances, of the relevance of trauma, of the importance of the readiness and willingness of the participants to participate in the restorative process, especially for the victim, and of the need for support and supervision after the restorative process.
    understand the practices of risk assessment and risk management.
  • understand that serious crime has a public significance as well as a personal impact. Community, however it is defined, can not only support people to recover from a very harmful act but can exacerbate a serious harm’s consequences.
