Restorative Practices 

Restorative Practices - Google Slides 

According to the IIRP, Restorative practices is a social science that studies how to build social capital (i.e., network of relationships) and achieve social discipline through participatory learning and decision-making. The IIRP’s definition of restorative practices also includes the use of informal and formal processes that precede wrongdoing, those that pro-actively build relationships and a sense of community to prevent conflict and wrongdoing.  

The use of restorative practices helps to:

• reduce crime, violence and bullying

• improve human behavior

• strengthen civil society

• provide effective leadership

• restore relationships

• repair harm
