Blended learning options to foster relational and restorative practice.

Health and Social Care, NHS Trusts

Drawing on relational and restorative practice to co-create solutions with all stakeholders.

 

Our aim is to give ownership of relational and restorative practice to those we work with.

Evolving a culture defined by the quality of human relationships, and developed with staff at all levels, is a perfect recipe for implementing and sustaining change, improving productivity, patient/client safety and care.

 

Our vision is for relational and restorative practice to become mandatory and a core part of  mainstream health and social care services.

This will enable leaders, managers and staff to have sustainable, enjoyable careers, characterised by accountability, equity, shared decisions and governance, a working culture that values the voice of everyone.

“It has given us something specific to put into action straightaway – how to plan a meeting with a complainant to get the most out of the meeting and ensure an outcome.”

  • Learning the practicalities of working ‘with’
  • Drawing on restorative and relational practice to enable psychological safety
  • Deep dives into conversations that are difficult or challenging
  • Helping teams to better collaborate and problem-solve together 
  • Threading restorative and relational practice into Early Resolution, Complaints and Grievance procedures
