The Community Peacemaking Toolkit has been developed by First Nations Peacemaking to support learning, planning, discussion, and careful decision-making about peacemaking practice.

The Toolkit provides general guidance and practice standards. It is not a training manual, practitioner accreditation process, service delivery licence, implementation package, or approval framework.

Using the Toolkit does not, by itself, mean that a person, organisation, program, service, training provider, consultant, agency, or partner is ready or authorised to deliver peacemaking practice.

Peacemaking practice carries responsibility. It requires local authority, cultural guidance, training, practitioner readiness, safety processes, coordination, supervision, referral pathways, and ongoing support. These matters cannot be replaced by reading or adopting the Toolkit.

No person or organisation may claim to be approved, accredited, endorsed, partnered, recognised, certified, authorised, or supported by First Nations Peacemaking unless this has been confirmed in writing by First Nations Peacemaking.

No person or organisation may claim that their service, program, training, model, framework, practitioner pathway, or delivery approach is “in line with”, “based on”, “under”, “approved by”, “recognised by”, “endorsed by”, “consistent with”, or “aligned to” the Community Peacemaking Toolkit unless this has been confirmed in writing by First Nations Peacemaking.

The names First Nations Peacemaking, Community Peacemaking Toolkit, FNP Approved, FNP Recognised, FNP Practitioner, FNP Partner, FNP Recognised Provider, and any similar description must not be used in a way that suggests approval, recognition, accreditation, endorsement, partnership, or authority from First Nations Peacemaking unless written permission has been provided.

Communities, organisations, agencies, funders, and partners may use the Toolkit to support internal reflection, planning, discussion, and preparation. Any public claim of formal alignment, approval, recognition, partnership, or authority must come through the relevant First Nations Peacemaking process.
