High support and low challenge– the FOR box, is where a teacher does things for students, turning a page because a student is on the wrong page.

The work included writing and developing interagency policy and processes around both areas of business. And as far as Mark is concerned, the main thing is the quality of the relationships that are being built. The STIP team are pleased to be working in partnership with Mark Finnis to introduce a relational and restorative led approach in supporting pupils who demonstrate behaviours of concern and or distress. I am relentless and passionate about working better together to produce brilliant work for great clients. This may seem to some that this situation is okay, the teacher talks and the students listen, however, respect and fear are different things.Furthermore, if you do things for anyone that they should be doing themselves they will grow used to this, and you’ll be blamed if it goes wrong. In short, anyone interested in the power of human relationships to enable change to happen will find material in this book to help them.

Your commitment to building and maintaining healthy connections is commendable Mark, keep up the great work! If you’re lucky enough to live long enough, you get to an age when you realise you are going to die. I began using restorative and relational based approaches in the late nineties and I have written and organised training for a wide range of Children and Adult Services, Schools and across communities ever since. It’s an approach he not only takes to schools across the country but to local government, social services and children’s services too.He is well aware that there are those in schools who see relational approaches to behaviour as a “soft” option. Restorative Practice takes effort but it is an effort that pays off both in the short term by improving the quality of school life but also in the longer term, setting everyone up to understand the power of communication, relationships and human connection. Restorative practice doesn’t mean ignoring this situation, it just means dealing with it in a better way. Restorative practice is intended for teachers working in the UK, but it can be used in any country, as it will help you and your students develop and deal with situations.
