• Addressing conflicts and harmful situations
in a way that, at the very least, does not
harm relationships, and at best repairs and
builds them
THEY ARE ABOUT…….
• Holding people accountable for their
actions-making them accept responsibilitybut supporting them in learning what they
have done to others.
• Helping them to find a way forward and to
behave differently next time.
