Restorative
Justice principles applied to the educational sector provide schools and
educators with a method to tackle communication issues within the educational
setting including problems arising through bullying. Where these techniques
have been applied there is lower exclusion from education and increased
attendance.
The
principles, skills and processes of Restorative Justice are now being
increasingly used in schools and in the looked-after sector. Restorative
approaches emphasise both the importance of repairing the harm done by
challenging and anti-social behaviour, and the need to build or re-build
connections between those involved".

- Chief Education Officer
- Members responsible for Education
- Head teachers
- School Governors
- Residential Care Managers
- Youth Offending Team Managers
- Educational Psychologists
