Community Action Pod Episode 8: Restorative Practice in our communities

Melanie Benn

Melanie takes a walk down Memory Lane as she goes in search of her old team at Gloucestershire County Council and enjoys a conversation with them about a relational practice that’s been going from strength to strength.  

Molly McLeod and Sam James discuss what Restorative Practice offers to schools in Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean - and their hopes for the future of young people and the adults around them.
