Advanced training for family violence and sexual violence
There is the option to undertake training and endorsement to work in the specialised areas of family violence and/or sexual violence.
For those facilitators that are interested to progress to endorsement:
The majority of Restorative Justice Provider Groups have family violence endorsed practitioners
There is one national provider for sexual harm cases, this is Project Restore New Zealand Trust. Currently, you can only facilitate sexual harm cases if you work for Project Restore New Zealand Trust.
What does the training involve?
The training involves up to 30 hours of structured learning including:
Preparatory reading ready for training (current Ministry of Justice Family Violence and Sexual Violence Standards)
Attendance at the training (may be face to face, online, hybrid)
Completion of the self-paced learning activities in the trainee workbook.
Who can apply?
Accredited restorative justice facilitators;
People who have completed the standard restorative justice training and have been co-facilitating FV cases. This will require an application to Simply and have attendance supported by your provider manager;
People with extensive, relevant sector experience who are not trained or accredited restorative justice facilitators (this is the RPL Pathway), following an application to Simply Resolution and an assessment interview with you, your provider manager and a Trainer.
