Restorative Practices: a guideline for educators

Grounded in both research and classroom practice, this guide – Restorative Practices Guideline – outlines key principles, conceptual frameworks, and everyday strategies to support a shift from control-based discipline to relational, responsibility-centred approaches.

Designed as a flexible reference for professional development, leadership conversations, classroom use, and policy reflection, this resource supports schools in building inclusive learning communities where accountability, empathy, and belonging are actively cultivated.
