Restorative Approaches are not new. Many schools have used this for over 20 years. It has already been proved to enable schools to improve behaviour and relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Your child may be invited to attend a Restorative Conversation to resolve a conflict that they are having at school. This is a meeting with those involved to:<br \/>\n<em>&#8211; discuss what is happening<\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8211; Look at who has been affected<\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8211; decide how it can be resolved<\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8211; find a way forward that avoids resentment<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is done in a way that is fair to everyone. To\u00a0ensure that those who have been engaging in poor behaviour can be held accountable,<br \/>\nthey will be expected to take responsibility for their actions before the meeting starts. This allows us to support those engaging in harmful behaviour so they are able to change that behaviour in a way that also holds them fully accountable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6791\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/parent-council\/screenshot-2025-10-21-144318\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318.png\" data-orig-size=\"255,451\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2025-10-21 144318\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318-170x300.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318.png\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6791\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318.png 255w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/wmckilmarnockacademy\/uploads\/sites\/4220\/2025\/10\/21134348\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-144318-170x300.png 170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>TICC<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Trauma Informed Contact &amp; Care (TICC)\u00a0is a\u00a0\u00a0police and education early intervention partnership which supports children and young people exposed to domestic abuse.
