Walker Research and Training

Delivering restorative justice training for practitioners in association with the leaders of restorative practice in the looked after system and NCERCC (The National Centre for Excellence for Children in Residential Care)

Our strength lies in our experience of strategic planning, the scope and flexibility of our training courses, the training and practitioner experience of our trainers and our inclusive methods of training delivery.

Practitioner Training in Restorative Approaches

We have extensive experience in writing and delivering training courses to suit the individual needs of our clients. The flexibility of our material and approach to delivery of training has been well received throughout Great Britain by statutory agencies, local authorities, charities and government departments. We have learned valuable lessons that we are happy to share with those considering training for their staff that can assist with management decisions for strategic implementation

Research and Evaluation

We specialise in research with ‘hard to reach’ groups and have conducted evaluations of projects and practice in social and criminal justice. These include youth intervention projects, the use of restorative justice in schools and in drug related matters, police and social policy and practice. Our clients include The Home Office, Youth Justice Board and the Department for Education and Skills.

We offer continued support and advice to those commissioning training from us. Many local authorities and other agencies benefit from a long and close association with us. We encourage this as good practice through avoiding ‘train and run’ scenarios. We make no charge for initial meetings and discussions and on-going support.
