What are Restorative Practices?
Restorative practices are an emerging social science that study how to strengthen relationships between individuals as well as how to build social connections within communities and organisations. Restorative Practices are commonly understood as interventions, based on a specific set of questions, which assist people in conflict with each other to manage and resolve the impact of that conflict. This conflict can take many forms from rule breaking, to criminal offending, to the break down of work-based or intimate relationships. Practising restoratively, however, is a way of communicating and behaving with others based on a specific set of values and principles which has benefits of building strong relationships and healthy communication. It reduces the likelihood of conflict in the first place. The Practising restoratively skill set, once learned, are transferable across many settings from schools and workplaces, community and voluntary groups, to parenting children and enjoying better personal relationships. |
