Restorative justice is a powerful, evidence-based approach that empowers young people to address harm, build accountability, and strengthen relationships. For young people in care, it offers a pathway to resolve conflicts constructively, helping to reduce the risk of criminalization and ensuring they feel supported rather than punished. As professionals in the social care sector, we know how critical it is to meet the requirement and intention of reducing the criminalization of young people in care. Restorative justice aligns perfectly with this goal, providing a framework that prioritizes resolution, understanding, and growth over punitive measures.
To support you in implementing this approach effectively, Social Care Skills is hosting an Online Seminar on Developing Restorative Justice with Young People.
- When: 1st April @ 10am (3 hours)
- Where: Live on Teams
- Registration: REGISTER HERE
The seminar highlights strategies for supporting young people in taking responsibility while building healthier relationships. It also focuses on integrating restorative practices within professional environments, aligned with The National Protocol on Reducing Unnecessary Criminalisation of Looked-after Children and Care Leavers, to prevent criminalisation and support positive development. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a meaningful difference and ensure compliance with the critical goals of reducing criminalization within the care system.
