AUT25-01 Restorative Practices - Restorative Meetings and Conferences

Restorative Practices - Restorative Meetings and Conferences(EY) (P) (PP) (SNA)     

DATE:    Tuesday, 9th September 2025
TIME:     7pm to 8pm
VENUE: Online via Zoom

Target Audience: Primary & Post Primary Special Needs Assistants and Early Years Educators 

In the eight of their 12 part series Jenn and Joe explore restorative meetings
and conferences. Based on the famous restorative questions this is possibly the
best known of all the restorative practices. People who cause harm and people who have been harmed often have very similar needs. Where they can be supported to come together in a safe and voluntary manner, these needs can often be articulated and attended to. This webinar will offer guidance and tips on what to do and, just as
importantly, what not to do.

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