Restorative Approaches are somewhat new to schools, especially the primary sector. However, data already shows that Restorative Approaches reduce incidents of disruptive behaviour, reduce incidents of verbal abuse, reduce incidents of theft, reduce incidents of physical assault and reduce exclusions. It has also been found to increase attendance. These resources are designed to support the behaviour systems currently in place within schools, aid the learning from these systems (for all parties) and repair any harm that has taken place (both physical and emotional harm). The resources cover initial introductions for all staff, specific training for Low-High level responses (including handouts and an introduction to pedagogical ideals) and all school INSETS to support. The resources are supported through a whole school plan and risk management documents. Using these resources I introduced restorative practices across six primary schools within the academy I work. I utilised the expertise already in place within my pastoral teams and school SENCOs to support the delivery of this across two academic terms (Sept-March).

This is a resource we use to prepare KS2 year 6 children for school transition. We work through the booklet with the children on a 1:1 basis but this can be a self driven document.

I created this resource to introduce Human Behaviours, how we learn and more importantly how we can utilise this in school. I plan to use this as a training resource for my behaviour team at school and to challenge their beliefs on behaviours. The resource goes into the psychology of behaviour and the learning processes involved. The resource touches on the Behaviourist Perspective, Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning. The outcome is for the users to 'understand key motivators to behaviour', 'develop a toolkit to use within schools' and 'gain knowledge in the ways we can influence others to behave the way we want.' I hope you find this resource useful.

This document is used within school to support children at home with their morning/evening routines. I have given this resource to many parents who report back that it is very helpful at home. I have found that this document helps with attendance within school. The document is easily customised with colours, names and tasks. The document can be printed and mounted onto card and/or decorated by the child to enable ownership. *Requires counters to be made* I use small plastic counters from school with stickers.

An informative resource created to describe the Cognitive Biases that effect our decision making processes.

This is a child led document designed to focus on the positive behaviours of a child, rather than focus on the negative. The initiative is the 'catch' the child doing well and record it for positive reinforcement/reflection. This has worked wonders in my school*, let me know how is goes for you. *We have a 'catch me being good badge' that accompany the document. Making it even easier to spot the students we need to focus on/praise.

As a school we found that a lot of our lateness was due to poor timekeeping from the parents. As an intervention to challenge this we created a 'Parents Late Slip'. The idea was to make dropping off a child late to school an inconvenience for the parent; hopefully reducing lateness! The document is used by ask each parent who brings their child late to school to complete the slip. In our school we have printed this out on red paper (makes the late slip look bad!!!) and always 'forget' to get it out ready (increasing the time it takes to complete it) I hope this works for your school!!

This document is used for a child to reflect on their learning attitude, behaviour and emotional wellbeing throughout the school day. This document has proved invaluable in nurturing children with little to no self confidence in school! The child should mark, periodically, where they are on the 'smile scale' throughout the school day enabling supportive reflection 1:1 with a member of staff. I often use a variety of open questions to enable the children to open up and talk about their emotional wellbeing and reinforce the positive aspects of the school day but reminding them, 'It is okay to feel sad'. I welcome any questions and welcome all feedback.

A document with the sole purpose of 'challenging' a child with a small S.M.A.R.T target to get them working above and beyond the normal expectations of the classroom. A reward is outlined at the bottom of each card. The card is designed to be kept by the child so the ownership is on them to achieve the 'challenge' and earn the reward. Three examples included: Example 1: Completely blank. Set them a challenge and outline a reward or EVEN BETTER 'challenge' the child to set their own target. Example 2: Suggested challenges. Don't forget to set a reward that the child would like to earn. Example 3: Challenges and rewards already set. Complete time saver with the whole emphasis put onto the child to take, complete and reward their own EPIC behaviour. Feedback appreciated.

This is a resource to use after a negative incident has occurred. The resource is designed to enable the child to understand and fix their mistakes. Work through the first worksheet and challenge the child to 'take responsibility' for their actions. The resource is broken into three simple steps: 1 - Apologise 2 - Ask what you can do to fix your mistake 3 - Do it! Continuous use of this resource will develop an understanding of reflective practise for children and empower them to learn a life skill. It is important that the child understands that we all make mistakes, it is our job to learn from them and make them better. Feedback appreciated.

The purpose of this circle time if to provide the children with the opportunity to express their understanding of what they have experienced and to gain some clarity. This enables us, as educators, to have a unified basis on which to build and repair.
