“I have no hesitation in highly recommending The Restorative Lab. They were exceptionally engaged in the work required and showed a depth of knowledge and skill that was beyond expectations. Feedback from staff was consistently positive and the trainers showed a capacity to adapt the training quickly and effectively as the context developed. The training offer was flexible and clearly had good outcomes for the service.”
