In this article Belinda Hopkins provides a welcome introduction to the use of restorative justice (RJ) principles in addressing challenging or disruptive behaviour. As an initiative, it shares much in common with the thinking outlined in the previous article on peer mediation. The underlying principles of the restorative approach suggest its worth as an expression of a school’s commitment to, for example, Active Citizenship and the Healthy Schools Programme.
