Course Description

Cambridge & District Community Mediation Service is sponsoring this short course. It aims to provide an overview of Restorative Approaches to conflict in schools for those with an interest in this area, whether they are school-based or not. It will be of interest to people from schools, police, probation, Youth Offending services and Children's Services, and to volunteers and other working in the field of mediation and Restorative Justice.
