Restorative Practices in Three Scottish Councils: Final Report of the Evaluation of the First Two Years of the Pilot Projects 2004-2006 (2008)

In 2004 The Scottish Executive established a 30-month pilot project in Restorative Practices ( RP) in three Local Authorities ( LAs), each of which was funded for about £45,000 annually. The pilot project was later extended until 2008. The final report shares the findings of the collaborative evaluation of the implementation over the first two years of RP in 18 of the pilot schools: one special, seven primary and ten secondary schools. It describes the wide variety of experiences and approaches associated with RP and discusses the impact of the development of RP across the 18 schools. It highlights general factors which may inhibit or facilitate the development and sustainability of RP in schools.

The evaluation indicates that RP, as they are developing in the pilot LAs and schools, can offer a powerful and effective approach to promoting harmonious relationships in school and to the successful resolution of conflict and harm.
