Restorative Practices (RP) are an evidence-based set of skills that help develop and sustain strong and happy organisations and communities by actively developing good relationships, preventing the escalation of conflict and handling conflict and wrongdoing in a creative and healthy manner.
‘Restorative Practices’ puts good, healthy relationships at the centre of actions, responses and behaviours.
In using Restorative Practices everyone affected by a negative behaviour has the chance to talk about what happened, discuss their feelings and explain how they think a resolution can be reached.
This method helps to manage the conflict or tension that has arisen because of bad behaviours and repairs relationships that have been affected.
It can be implemented in schools, at home and in community settings to help promote self- awareness, empathy, mutually respectful relationships and listening skills.
The Blue Skies Initiative has trained alongside CDI in Tallaght, examining the origins and development of Restorative Practices, the evidenced outcomes and skills that are used when taking a restorative approach.
