Project structure
A key factor in the success of the project has been collaboration between statutory and voluntary services who have committed time and resources to ensuring that the project meets community and education needs. The Children’s Services Committee has overall responsibility for the project and four key groups contribute to the implementation of the project. These consist of key decision makers and influencers from statutory and voluntary services within the community and education sectors. They include; education and community working groups, an implementation group and the restorative practices sub group. Each group meets once every two months in a cycle that facilitated the education and community working groups to feed into the implementation group which in turn feeds into the CSC Restorative practice sub group. Each representative participates in a voluntary capacity.
