“Fabulous! Everything was just brilliant. The trainer’s knowledge was absolutely exemplary and I am so excited about looking at this from an adult offending view”.

 

"The course was excellent and I have learnt immensely from a strategic point of view, consequently, I am inspired to be the Restorative Justice Advocate not just for my team but the whole authority".

Sheela Solanki - Blackpool Youth Offending Team

 

“I thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to undertake a BTEC and found it very interesting networking with multi professionals from various organisations, understanding the roles and the way they are implementing Restorative Justice, I particularly enjoyed the fun based activities which we completed which assisted me in picking up and gathering knowledge that I required to complete this qualification”
Paula Murtha - Senior Residential Worker - Durham County Council
