Restorative Conversations in Primary Schools – Building Relationships and Repairing Behaviour

This complete, editable CPD pack supports schools in developing calm, consistent approaches to managing behaviour through restorative dialogue.
Rooted in evidence from the EEF (2021) Behaviour in Schools guidance, the training helps staff build stronger relationships and use language that repairs rather than punishes.

Teachers and TAs will leave the session equipped with a clear framework for holding restorative conversations, including the five key questions that guide pupils to take responsibility and make amends.

This ready-to-deliver CPD is ideal for behaviour leads, class teachers, and support staff. It includes everything needed for a professional 60–90-minute session.
