Restorative practices are increasingly being recognised as effective tools for repairing relationships that have been damaged through conflict and harm. Effective training in restorative facilitation is crucial to ensuring restorative processes delivered in any setting are safe, positive experiences for all involved.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich has developed a unique Level 5 training programme, credit rated by the University of Greenwich, and RJC approved at Intermediate/Advanced level. The course combines three crucial elements of theory, practice and implementation to ensure the development of effective RA facilitators.
The Level 5 programme consists of two 30 credit modules and Module 2 is focused on Practice and Reflection. This module will support practitioners to:
- Develop effective facilitation skills in restorative practice, which meet nationally recognised best practice standards
- Cultivate skills in reflective practice and understand the importance of being a reflective restorative practitioner.
Practitioners will:
- develop their skills and knowledge in restorative practice and work towards a Level 5 University qualification and RJC practitioner registration.
Settings will:
- benefit from having staff with specialist skills and knowledge who can evidence their practice meets nationally recognised best practice standards.
This Module 2 course is for learners who have already completed our RA Level 5 Module 1 course and evidenced their eligibility by completing the necessary application form.

The Word Up approach is suitable for children working significantly below the Key Stage standards and not responding successfully to the traditional 'synthetic phonics' methods. This is a whole word reading and language development approach, particularly suitable for children who are visual learners.
Pupils:
- with visual strengths, but difficulties with the 'synthetic phonics' approach, will have access to an alternative approach to reading
Staff will:
- understand why a whole word approach to reading may be more effective for some pupils
- know how to deliver Word Up style activities
