Who can do restorative justice facilitator training?
Trainees working with a restorative justice provider can begin facilitator induction training, starting with the self-study pre-course modules. It is important that trainees are already working with a provider organisation, as part of the pre-course mahi (work) includes observing a court-referred conference. See a list of restorative justice providers at justice.govt.nz.
To be considered for training, you will need to complete a training and mentoring form with your provider:

People who are not working with a restorative justice provider can complete and be assessed for self-study modules one to five independently. There is a small fee to be assessed for these modules.

Facilitator training courses generally run twice each year, in Wellington and Auckland. Training is free-of-charge if you are a facilitator for a Ministry of Justice contracted restorative justice provider. Provider organisations generally cover the costs of travel and accommodation. Discuss this with your provider organisation. The training covers a lot of information (you'll get a workbook to take home with you) and provides lots of opportunities to practice skills and get feedback. Courses run from Monday to Friday, between 8.30am-5.30pm. Trainees need to attend the full week. Lunch and refreshments are included. "Absolutely superb course... intense, but by far the best training I have ever been on. The trainers were knowledgeable and humble. They kept us all interested and focused, and I feel completely ready to move on to learning more as I start conferencing." |
