Restorative Justice in Schools

Restorative Justice in schools is an approach that focuses on repairing harm and restoring relationships rather than punishment for misbehavior. Instead of solely disciplining students for wrongdoing, it encourages open dialogue between those affected and those responsible. This process fosters understanding, empathy, and accountability, allowing students to reflect on their actions' impact and work towards making amends. The goal is to create a supportive school environment that promotes healing, reduces conflict, and builds a sense of community, ultimately helping students learn from their mistakes and develop better social skills.
