WHAT IS RESTORATIVE PRACTICE?
RESTORATIVE PRACTICE aims to enhance relationships within teams, improving functionality and ensuring a positive environment within
your setting. Restorative practice can restore the consequences of harm,
such as damaged trust, safety or confidence, while also
preventing future potential risks of harm.
This encompasses proactive strategies to forestall conflicts as well as methods and activities
geared toward repairing harm when
conflicts have already emerged.
When necessary, a restorative
meeting may be convened to
facilitate communication between
those affected by an incident or conflict
and those responsible for the harm,
with the aim of fostering relational repair.
This collaborative process fosters
enhanced mutual understanding and
facilitated the identification of optimal
solutions. Nevertheless, in many instances,
a more informal approach guided by restorative principles may be preferable.

UBUNTU’S APPROACH
UBUNTU offers effective, creative restorative
practice within educational, community
settings, with organisations, individuals, and
groups. Our unique lived experience within
schools as educators, mentors, and coaches
has enabled us to help reduce exclusions
which too often lead down the path of the
criminal justice system.
WHY RESTORATIVE PRACTICE?
Restorative practice encourages individuals to acknowledge the impact of their choices and actions on others and to take responsibility for their decisions; thereby fostering accountability, respect, and healthier
relationships. Restorative practice teaches reflection on interpersonal interactions and promotes strategies for harm and conflict prevention. This can be a crucial skill to learn for those who are neurodivergent, therefore we endeavour to accommodate all learning styles and needs to allow for the same, healed end-result.
