Guardian - Schools can significantly reduce the impact of bullying and improve pupils’ wellbeing by using a specialised system of conflict resolution and training, according to a ground-breaking study published in the Lancet.
The research, led by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and University College London, was conducted over three years in state schools in the south of England, and is the first of its type to study the use of “restorative practice” within schools, bringing together victims and perpetrators of damaging behaviour.
.... The programme, Learning Together, saw staff in 20 secondary schools trained in techniques of restorative practice, such as using respectful language to promote good behaviour. It also used student surveys and meetings to inform school policies, as well up to 10 hours a year of specialised classroom lessons on social and emotional skills.
