Restorative Justive put into practice in schools

Pupils at a west London school who have been disrupting lessons have been invited to appear before a panel of their peers to explain why they have been misbehaving – and to hear their fellow pupils talk about their belief that those actions have infringed upon their right to learn.

The student juries are seen as an attempt to bring the lessons learned from restorative justice work among juveniles into the classroom. Much more than that, however, they are part of a slowly developing project that aims to put human rights at the heart of the school’s ethos and curriculum.
