Question 2

What is Restorative Practice?

Accepted Answer

Restorative Practices are a range of processes and principles we use to engage proactively with our communities and each other on a daily basis, in other words, unlike the principles of Restorative Justice, we do not need to have encountered conflict or harms to engage in Restorative Practice processes.  Restorative Practices provide the foundational tool for building and nurturing our communities, creating opportunity for inclusion, belonging, positive behaviour development, building emotional literacy and problem solving skills.
