What's your organisation's Restorative Temperature?
Our new pack will help you determine the 'restorative temperature' of your organisation. Using confidential questionnaires for staff and participants, the results will provide a general sense of how restorative your organisation is. The questions can help identify specific strengths - for example fairness, voices heard, positive relationships, and restorative approaches to wrongdoing. The pack can also help you to identify areas of concern that need to be addressed. The temperature exercise has been adapted from the University of Minnesota's Human Rights Temperature, and shows how the key principles of restorative practices can be linked with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
