The Ministry of Justice provides a restorative justice facilitator training and accreditation programme as part of our commitment to supporting quality restorative justice provision in New Zealand.
All practicing restorative justice facilitators need to be either restorative justice accredited or working towards accreditation. Facilitators seeking accreditation (and new facilitators) must satisfactorily complete restorative justice facilitation induction training. Restorative justice providers are responsible for ensuring that facilitators are enrolled on training courses and that facilitators are subsequently working towards accreditation.
To find out more, see the Resolution Institute website or contact us.
