This seminar provides a comprehensive exploration of restorative justice approaches tailored for young people. Participants will gain practical tools for fostering positive change, managing conflict, and promoting accountability. Key areas include implementing restorative conversations, managing group dynamics, and understanding trauma-informed practices.
Many children and young people have experienced adversity that shapes how they relate to others, manage emotions, and engage with support. A trauma-informed approach shifts the focus from “what’s wrong?” to “what’s happened?”, building connection, trust, and understanding. Whether you work in a school, residential service, family support team or community organisation, trauma-informed practice is essential to improving outcomes and reducing the risk of re-traumatisation.
Neurodivergent young people may experience communication, attachment, social processing and emotional regulation differently. Without informed support, this can increase vulnerability to coercion, grooming, unhealthy relationships or restrictive safeguarding responses.
