Restorative Practice

In Hull and other Cities, Hull Centre for Restorative Practice works with all agencies that work with young people and families. Providing advice, training, support and challenge to ensure the effective implementation of restorative practice. Its work within schools is deliberately planned to fit within the wider needs of the city-wide strategy of Children and Young People's Services as expressed in the Children and Young People's Plan.

Hull Centre for Restorative Practice is a signatory to the Restorative Justice Council (RJC) 'Code of Practice for Trainers and Training Organisations of Restorative Practice - 2011'.

Hull has the following priorities at a citywide level:

  • The establishment and development of an inter-agency implementation strategy with key steps and sustainability built into it with appropriate monitoring;

  • The development of geographical partnerships around key primary, secondary and special schools (or other appropriate agencies) to deliver inter-agency work.

  • That RP becomes a requirement for commissioned services including the voluntary and community sector;

  • That RP is used as a key tool in the Prevent, Safer Schools and community cohesion agenda;

  • That planning and implementation is participated in fully by a range of services in an area;

  • This work needs to reflect geographical and institutional need and not be a one-size fits all model

Our mission is to provide a framework of explicit practice to enable effective working with all professionals across all services. What would happen if...Adults?

  • Committed to adopting behaviours that promoted consistency in building and management of all relationships

  • Articulated explicitly the basis of their personal practice and that of their organisation

  • Challenged and supported each using their explicit practice as a point of reference

  • Employed agreed protocols that strengthened relationships and sought to repair harm when relationships broke down
