Wales Restorative Approaches Partnership

Restorative approaches (RA) are a way of being which includes outlook and the day-to-day skills involved in preventing and pre-empting conflicts and harm. It builds and maintains relationships and community, as well as reacting/ responding when things go wrong.

So, restorative approaches are not simply a set of tools. Yes, there are consistent techniques used in restorative organisations such as restorative meetings, circle practice, and restorative conversations, but this does not wholly reflect what it means to be restorative.
