These principles refer directly to schools. The various restorative processes referred
to in the following guidelines include restorative empathic listening; restorative
discussion; mediation (peer and adult -led), problem-solving circles, restorative
conferencing and family group conferencing (FGC). A restorative school may have
some or all of these in place, or be working towards developing some or all of these
processes.
Relationship and community building processes are also referred to in the context of
proactive initiatives that schools can take to pre-empt anti-social and/or offending
behaviour. (excerpt).
