Restorative Thinking | Restorative Justice Approaches

The Restorative Thinking toolkits provide a planned and coherent curriculum opportunity, which will enhance a school’s own ethos and values through the development of SMSC across the whole school.
"Very interesting and relevant for dealing with issues we currently have in school, looking at new behaviour policy." (Head Teacher, Leicester)
Restorative practices and ways of thinking are now developing and growing in many primary schools across the UK. An increasing amount of evidence demonstrates a very positive impact on improving and sustaining positive behaviour, attendance, attainment and progress.
Peer Mediation and related approaches are having a profound impact on schools, families and most importantly on the development of pro-social skills and resilience in children.

"Relationships built through restorative practice are the oxygen people and communities need to survive and thrive..." (Dr Jim Longo, Washington and Jefferson College)

Welcome to Restorative Thinking

Restorative Thinking Limited is a Social Enterprise. We work with Local Authorities, Children’s and Adult Services, Primary, Secondary and Special schools to develop restorative strategies and to promote a restorative culture in organisations and schools.

In Schools and Children’s Centres our prevention and intervention programmes empower pupils, parents and teachers with a restorative education; alongside training, they make restorative practice in schools practical, accessible, engaging and effective. Central to our work are the outcomes for pupils, parents and teachers, providing opportunities for positive change and delivering key life skills in restorative practice in the classroom. We work in partnership with the Shackleton Foundation and the Anti-Bullying Alliance.

Restorative Thinking Limited has been awarded the Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM) and the Training Provider Quality Mark (TPQM). We aim to model restorative practice in all our dealings. Download Restorative Thinking Limited’s company introduction here.
