Changing School Cultures

The Challenge of Culture Change: Embedding Restorative Practices in Schools

The link on the right allows you to download a PowerPoint presentation that Marg Thorsborne delivered in a seminar to the Restorative Practices pilot schools November 2005.

The presentation outlines the thinking behind necessary changes in attitudes and practice if Restorative Practices are to be embedded into the culture of Scottish schools.

Marg is an experienced practitioner and trainer from Australia who has written widely about restorative justice and restorative practices in schools and in the wider community.
