Narrative:

I was the radar controller in charge of the sector while a trainee was attempting certification with a supervisor present. The trainee issued a heading toward an active restr area. I waited momentarily to see if he would correct the error. When he did, it was too late and the airspace was penetrated by 0.2 of a mi. Facility directives only require missing the airspace, not by a specified distance.
