Restorative Justice is ‘…a process whereby all the parties with a stake in a particular offence (or incident) come together to resolve collectively how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and the implications for the future’ (Marshall, 1999).

The two day (RJ Awareness) and the four day (RJ Facilitators) training courses are aimed at anyone who wants to either familiarise themselves with RJ principles and background as well as those who want to be able to provide RJ conferencing and includes school staff, youth workers; youth offending services; social care services; residential care; community and voluntary services; probation services; police forces; local authorities; and human resource personnel.

The course covers:

    * Introduction to RJ
    * RJ principles,
    * Application,
    * Demonstration conference,
    * Skills, theories, emotions,
    * Introduction to script and phrases,
    * Participant preparation,
    * Skills practice


The training is intensive, highly participatory and you will walk away with an in depth understanding of RJ principles as well as the ability to deliver RJ conferencing in any setting if you complete the full four day course

Packages and prices

CEN we practices Gif-tiv-ism, which means there is no charge for the RJ training courses.  Instead they ask you to donate a gift of payment, assesing the  value of  the training in at least one of 4 ways if not in all the following ways.

(If your company/organisation will pay as part of your CPD training then we can provide an invoice following a conversation with yourself or your business unit to establish a fair price.)

You can measure it by:

the quality of the training that you receive; and/or
the prices that other training providers charge; and/or
the social impact that you feel the CEN makes; and/or
how much impact you want your gift to make to the communities that RJ intends to serve.
