Restorative Justice Introductory Learning Circle - Friday 23 October 2026

This learning circle will provide an initial introduction to restorative justice principles and process. This workshop can be attended by people with relatively little experience in processes or roles that directly relate to the response to sexual harm but who have an interest to learn more about restorative justice.   

Each of the learning circle formats will be limited to up to 15 people. The limited number and format of the learning circles:    

• reflects the principles of restorative justice which is based on the building of trusted and meaningful relationship and open dialogue.     

• actively supports and encourages shared listening/voice for all participants.   

• centres on reflective and mutual learning about the principles and practice of restorative justice, how they can be applied to respond to harm, and moves away from a strict model where facilitators “teach”.    

• is based on a model where contributions and reflections about concepts and issues are sought before the theory/models of practice are explored.
