Project Writing Wrongs
Funding The Writing Wrongs pack costs £250 for schools and £395 for youth offending teams (YOTs)
Purpose To support the use of restorative practice in schools and with young offenders
Background
Restorative approaches have long been used in the justice system to help both criminals and victims come to terms with the impact of an offence. Similar techniques are now being used in workplaces and schools to help prevent and deal with conflict.
The Writing Wrongs programme, written by Andy Winters, a YOT education representative in Lancashire, is designed to help teachers and youth justice practitioners to pass on these techniques to young people. "We found there was a need for a resource for teachers who had done restorative practice training and wanted to take that into the classroom," says education consultant Lesley Parkinson, who is helping to develop the programme.
