Restorative NorthTas News - 11 September 2015
1. Not just about schools
Just a reminder that Restorative NorthTas is not just about schools. Please feel free to contribute and suggest any content that could help others become more restorative in their practice. What is working for you would be a good starting point?
2. Problem solving with Restorative Practices
And not just for schools!!! I came across this report of a school district that had surveyed its students regarding their safety. This is an interesting idea. Are there any NorthTas organisations that use data in this way? If so please share your experiences.
The article also reminded me that solving problems involves three levels of response, and Restorative Practices have a role to play in all three levels

3. Useful framework with checklists for schools
In many Australian Catholic schools restorative practices are central to student well-being. Here a useful reference and research summary including helpful checklists. Chances are the checklists could be easily adapted to other organisations that are becoming Restorative.
