🤝 Restorative Practice reminds us that healing is collective.

Burnout isn't just a sign we need more self-care—it’s a call to build communities where care flows both ways.

In schools, this means checking in, holding space, and lifting each other up 💬❤️

Restorative practice focuses on building trust and positive relationships rather than control. By guiding, teaching, and communicating, we nurture a healthy school environment where students grow through connection and mutual respect 🌱

Our responses to students' behavior reflect our own emotional state. Prioritising our well-being helps us create a nurturing environment where we can guide and support students with patience and clarity.

Restorative practice acknowledges that true strength comes from the resilience to heal and grow after challenges. 🌱 It’s in supporting each other through tough times that we cultivate a stronger, more compassionate school community.

The Game Plan

Now, we're starting to explore the concept of accountability. Quite often, this sudden realisation appears on the person in question when they realise that the event could have been approached differently - The Wise Owl vs the Guard Dog.

This question opens up the opportunity for the person to think about how their actions/words might have affected the other person, the community or themselves, promoting empathy.

With this question, the person is now acknowledging how they are currently thinking and feeling, it can be very helpful to navigate conflict using a past-present-future model as we can get very attached and pre-occupied with the past!

Our Yr 1 Ubuntu Team Leaders from our School Culture Partnership shared so many ideas at today’s ‘Magpie Session’.., of course I’m the biggest magpie of us all & learn so much from the practitioners in the room. I loved Aoife from Whitcross NS sporting our problem-solving wheel 🦒!

This next question offers the person a chance to reflect on their mindset and the emotions driving their behaviour at the time of the incident and ask themselves if they were in the position again, would they choose to react in the same manner they did?

We are dedicating this week to the 6 restorative questions a core element of everything we do here in Connect RP.

The purpose of these questions is to facilitate open, honest dialogue and promote healing and understanding, often used in the aftermath of conflict or harm.

Even when the message isn't immediately received, the simple act of planting a seed can spark growth in time. Patience and trust in the process are key to creating lasting change. This is a key understanding for those seeking to grow a school committed to the tenets of RP 🌻
