Description
Join us for this exciting launch of our new Good Practice Guide on working restoratively with participants who speak English as an Additional Language!
By attending this event you will:
Learn more about the barriers to accessing and using Restorative Justice faced by people who speak English as an Additional Language, and how we can overcome them.
Explore our good practice guidance for practitioners, community organisations and interpreters who are seeking to offer Restorative Justice to people who speak English as an Additional Language, based on 3 years of research through our Project Articulate.
Hear from one of our community partners on why restorative practices are useful in their community when it comes to hate crime.
You should attend if you are a restorative practitioner, work with communities who speak English as an Additional Language, use restorative practices in your work or are interested in widening access to Restorative Justice amongst more communities.
This event is the culmination of Project Articulate, a 3-year project funded by The Bell Foundation that sought to improve access to Restorative Justice for people who speak English as an Additional Language. Why me? worked extensively with community partners and Restorative Justice practitioners across Bedfordshire, Nottinghamshire and London, as well as leading on policy advocacy at a national level focusing on increasing access to Restorative Justice for more communities.
