DATE:      Tuesday, 13th January 2026
TIME:       7pm - 8pm
VENUE:   Online Via Zoom

In this, the first of seven webinars across the year, Jenn and Joe explain the foundational principles and practices of Restorative Practice; what it is, what it looks like in a school setting and, most importantly perhaps of all, “why” you need to consider adopting this in your work and in your life (spoiler alert: it’s about putting relationships at the heart of everything)

Each session in the series offers valuable insights, tips, strategies and resources, allowing you to navigate the various complexities with confidence - one step at a time.
