Our vision is to harness the power of restorative practice to cultivate a culture where it is widely accessible and recognised as a valuable tool for empowering community transformation, resolving conflicts, promoting healthy relationships, and facilitating positive change. We believe restorative practice plays a vital role in creating a more peaceful and harmonious society.
Serving as the national, independent membership body for the restorative sector, our mission is to promote and advance the use of restorative practice, in all its forms, for the betterment of the public. We believe that restorative practice has the power to enable communities to cultivate a culture that prioritises reconciliation and empowers individuals to build strong, effective and resilient relationships. By embracing a restorative and relational mindset in every aspect of society and our own lives, we create safe environments where those in conflict can engage in meaningful dialogue and begin the journey of repairing the harm caused. It is our goal to see restorative principles deeply integrated in all aspects of our society.
Our commitment to serving the restorative sector is demonstrated through our focus on education, research, and the ongoing enhancement of our standards, principles and practice guidance. We recognise the changing needs of this sector and strive to continuously adapt and respond to them.
We align with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
