Restorative Practice
Restorative Practice underpins the Stockport Family Model and is practised by Oak Tree. Restorative Practice promotes active thinking about how we build our relationships, how we work to keep them healthy and how we can repair them when there has been conflict. Restorative Practice is relevant to us all. It supports us to connect with each other as fellow human beings, guiding us with our interactions. It can help us to consider how our actions and responses affect our relationships, whether these are relationships at work or at home. Weekly Circle Time is a key component of Restorative Practice and provides children with opportunities to share, listen, reflect and respond to others.
