Just Care
Restorative Justice Approaches to Working with Children in Public Care
by Belinda Hopkins
Restorative justice is an innovative approach to addressing conflict and bullying, as well as disruptive, challenging and criminal behaviour. A restorative approach in a care setting shifts the emphasis from managing and responding to anti-social behaviour to the building, nurturing and repairing of relationships, and encourages the young person to accept responsibility and put things right.
Just Care is essential reading for residential care managers and staff, social workers, youth offending team managers and those with responsibility for foster care training and development.

Restorative Solutions - Making it work
by Helen Mahaffey and Colin Newton
'This book is a welcome addition to the growing and developing literature about using restorative approaches in educational settings. The authours have a huge amount of experience between them of working in such settings and the book is full of illuminating case studies from their own practice.'What I found particularly valuable in the book is the way the authors have enriched our understanding of interpersonal dynamics of restorative interventions by drawing on theories from their own disciplines of educational psychology and family therapy. This is especially welcome as we begin to carve out a whole new way of looking at what it means to be restorative in school settings, and move on from the narrow focus of original criminal justice model.'- Belinda Hopkins

The Restorative Classroom
Using Restorative Approaches to Foster Effective Learning
By Belinda Hopkins
Restorative approaches are about more than just repairing
relationships when things go wrong, they are also about making and
maintaining relationships and they inform a style of teaching just as
much as they do an approach to problem solving and conflict resolution.
By giving everyone a voice, considering everyone’s thoughts, feelings
and needs and believing in people’s ability to find solutions to their
own problems by working together, young people will develop the language
and skills they need to properly engage with their peers.
The Restorative Classroom invites classroom teachers and
teaching assistants to reflect on themselves, on their role, their
purpose and their intention in the classroom and on their current style
of engagement with their students. It combines a focus on the making,
maintaining and repairing of relationships in the classroom with the
development of social responsibility and a mutually supportive learning
community in that classroom.
