Justice Report Writing Practice Training

Overview and Purpose

This one-day course is a space for critical reflection and considers the new sentencing guidelines for young people. The Justice Report Writing Practice Training Course enables us to consider the use of language and writer communication to provide clear and accessible reports for sentencers. The approach moves us from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” and “What’s Strong with You”.

By adopting a biopsychosocial perspective, we begin to move away from the medicalisation of trauma and offending behaviour and aiming to occupy a place where high levels of accountability and compassion co-exist.

This training course is designed to build upon Epione’s level 2 or level 3 Trauma Training courses but not essential.
