Conflict or disputes arise from the
breakdown of relationships, resulting in a
breakdown in the Community.
The resulting harm, damage, or disruption
should be addressed by those involved in
and impacted by a conflict, dispute or
incident.
A restorative approach recognizes the
capacity of the individuals and community
to identify, address and resolve their issues
and problems.

way I want to be treated, even
when I’m not being treated that
way?
