Restorative Practice Accreditation Course | Wellington | 6 - 8 March 2026
Restorative Practice is increasingly recognised for its ability to resolve harms (or conflicts) that other resolution approaches cannot. It prioritises people’s needs in repairing the harm done, restoring dignity, and preventing further harm.
The Resolution Institute Restorative Practice Accreditation course is designed to meet the Restorative Practice Competency Framework for New Zealand. It supports the learning and understanding of the practical application of the core and fundamental competencies of restorative practice in relation to the learning objectives and assessment standards detailed within the framework and highlighted below. This ensures that practitioners can successfully apply restorative principles across diverse contexts (e.g., education, healthcare, marae, workplaces).
Who is this training for?
The focus of this course is to provide practitioners with extended practical learning opportunities that support the successful facilitation of Restorative Practice hui's throughout New Zealand. Practitioners will be required to identify the principles and articulate their foundational knowledge of restorative practices, dispute resolution, or mediation as part of their learning.
Therefore, it is recommended that attendees have demonstrable prior learning or knowledge by having either:
extensive experience in mediation and/or restorative justice methods, or
completed the Victoria University of Wellington Restorative Foundation: Principles and Applications of Restorative Practice Micro-credential.
Please be aware the course involves some pre-course learning elements sent out a month prior. During the training days, a small amount of self-directed learning is required in the evening. The training days are full-time; we recommend not attempting to be available for other work commitments during those days in order to make the most of the learning opportunity.
You will learn:
Apply restorative values
Tailor processes to cultural and contextual needs
Uphold ethical and safety standards
