Mark Finnis and Paul Moran,
" The center offers restorative conferences for victims and offenders andtheir communities of care -- in cases ranging from "deaths to the theft of a pencil and everything in between" -- as well as family groupconferences for incidents within families. Sefton schools have greatly benefited from restorative practices training and consulting providedby the center. Restorative approaches -- from informal interventions inplayground disputes to formal conferences in which affected partiesaddress transgressions -- have been implemented throughout Sefton schools, and are preparing children to deal with issues far beyond theclassroom."
