Students to the Academy events will study the BTEC Professional Award in Restorative Justice Approaches - BTEC Level 4

This is a professional Award qualification for senior practitioners and senior staff, delivered by some of the UK’s leading experts in crime and restorative justice. This strategic course is designed to ensure that senior practitioners, managers or senior case workers are effectively qualified to understand approaches to delivering restorative justice.  This qualification will also equip non case working managers to manage investigative and restorative justice teams.

The course covers what restorative justice is, how to create strategies and systems, how to implement RJ approaches, referral and delivery systems as well as working in partnership to deliver RJ in your area.

The course consists of 30 hours of learning, made up as follows:

- Pre-course assignment - 8 hours
