NEW Managing Behaviour – Restorative Practice

Course date: 3rd Mar 2022

Restorative Practice is a behaviour strategy for whole school or whole class communities. It originated from Maori indigenous society. It is more than just a behaviour strategy, it is a value system. It has been adopted by Police forces in North America and Australasia. It has been adopted by Thames Valley Constabulary in the UK. Large institutions and many UK schools are using restorative approaches to facilitate conflict management.

Have you tried lots of behaviour strategies to no avail? Have you felt like something was missing from your own/your schools approach to behaviour? Are you ‘owning’ the conflict?
