Restorative Conferencing
Restorative Conferencing is a process that brings together individuals affected by a conflict or harm, allowing them to discuss the impact of the incident. This approach emphasizes open communication, where victims can express their feelings and needs, while offenders can take responsibility for their actions. The goal is to foster understanding and healing among all parties involved.
During a Restorative Conference, a trained facilitator guides the discussion, ensuring a safe and respectful environment. Participants work collaboratively to identify solutions and agree on steps to repair the harm caused. This method promotes accountability and encourages positive relationships within the community.
