INTRODUCTION

This manual is designed to contain helpful hands-on guidance for restorative processes used in day-to-day practice. It has been produced in response to many enquiries for a pocket-sized guide that can easily be taken on visits or carried into meetings.

We hope it might be useful for:

Youth Offending Team (YOT) workers

probation officers

prison staff

police

referral order volunteers

school or childrens home staff

family group conference facilitators

community conferencing facilitators

mediators

antisocial behaviour order (ASBO) co-ordinators

in fact, anyone engaged in restorative practice in any field.

This is not an exhaustive reference manual, but it might enable practitioners to feel more confident.

Health Warning! Facilitating a restorative meeting is a skilled process and should not be undertaken without thorough training in line with current standards. Please use this guide to help you in your practice after you have received training (or simply as a reference book if you wish to learn more about restorative justice), not as an alternative to training.

The approach we describe here is the criminal justice model. We hope that practitioners in educational and residential settings will find this book useful. However, it should only be used alongside specialist guides for restorative practice in these settings. The restorative process we describe may be appropriate for certain more serious incidents in schools, prisons and care homes. In institutional settings, however, the restorativeness of the whole community is vital to the effectiveness of any single intervention. A range of different approaches, from informal one-to-one conversations, through circle time to the more formal restorative meetings described here, are available.

Many restorative justice schemes use the term restorative conference. We have chosen instead to talk about a restorative meeting. Conference seems rather overbearing, but the guidance contained here is intended for any meeting that brings together a victim and offender, from an informal mediation to a large conference run along more formal lines.
