About Restorative Approaches
The restorative approach is an ethos and value base for working with people, rather than to or for them. It encourages a consistent mind-set and value base which is embedded successfully and sustainably, enabling cultural change to take place.
The aim is to build, maintain and repair relationships. To be restorative means believing that decisions are best made and conflicts best resolved by those most directly affected by them. When working restoratively we work with people rather than to or for them. Restorative practices embrace early intervention, prevention and response and include a focus on accountability and responsibility, openness, mutual respect and inclusion.
Our vision and values
Our vision is everyone living restoratively and our mission inspiring change together, with restorative approaches.
Our Values influence our business behaviours and include:
1. embracing restorative approaches in our day to day operations
2. taking ownership of issues, developing real, bespoke solutions
3. putting the individual at the heart of the solution
4. working collaboratively with other relevant agencies and organisations whenever possible
5. modelling restorative approaches in every day working, internally and with partners and stakeholders.
Wales Restorative Approaches Partnership adheres to restorative and co-operative principles and operates according to the Restorative Justice Council quality standards.

What are restorative approaches?

RA engages and develops positive relationships and resilient communities, to reduce harm, and de- escalate conflict quickly by problem solving effectively.
