Relationships, Relationships, Relationships

Restorative Practice emphasises the importance of balancing power relationships in any dialogue. It develops skills in individuals and groups, allowing them to engage in purposeful and deliberate dialogue about the issues that concern them.

“Relationships built through restorative practice are the oxygen people and communities need to survive and thrive…” (Dr Jim Longo, Washington and Jefferson College)

Social Enterprise

We work alongside NHS Trusts, Local Authorities, Schools, Prisons and Probation Services to introduce, develop and embed restorative and relational practice.

We collaborate with organisations and teams to identify existing strengths and needs to achieve individual intended outcomes. Our team provides blended learning opportunities to meet all time scales and budgets: consultancy; e-Learning CPD; workshops; coaching; action learning sets; programmes; supervision/s.

In 2018 we won the i-Network Innovation Award for ‘Innovating and Transforming Public Services‘.

Behaviour Contagion

Restorative practice requires everyone to really consider their part in creating healthy, open, inclusive cultures. Restorative practice is a philosophy that guides our thinking, saying and doing and influences how we interact with each other; how we establish, build and maintain positive relationships, hold ourselves and each other to account and resolve confrontation and conflict.

This video shows the New York Red Bulls players giving their coats to mascots during heavy rain in March 2024. It’s a great example of ‘behaviour contagion’, and demonstrates really well what happens when we are the first to adopt restorative practice; model it at every opportunity, and watch it catch on!

"A course that allows you to become consciously aware of your own actions, language and behaviours, and those of people around you."

“Restorative Practice has helped me understand how my actions can affect my class mates and it has made me think about how I react in lessons and at break and lunch.”

"It’s showed me that there is always a reason for my child’s behaviour and this is a form of communication and as a parent I’m not making a mess of it and there is always room for improvement."
