Restorative
Justice
Restorative Justice at Humpty Doo Primary
School is aimed at students to give them the skills to maintain
healthy relationships. Restorative justice refers to structured
processes designed to repair the harm and teach and encourage
more socially responsible behaviours after incidents such
as bullying. Children are able to express their views throughout
the program in a safe environment. The program works on
a set of core principals - respect, consideration, and participation.
Restorative justice examples include the formal apology,
the method of shared concern, restitution and community
conferencing.
