Embedding Restorative Practices in Community | Paul Chambers | TEDxStPeterPort

Paul Chambers introduced Guernsey’s story of restorative justice and seeks to broaden our perspectives about what restorative practice in community can look like. It also presented some practical guidelines which represented a strategic approach to the implementation of restorative practices, so that they “stick” and become sustainable.

Paul became the Restorative Justice Co-ordinator for the Bailiwick of Guernsey over 7 years ago and began using restorative approaches in a range of situations; Assaults, bullying, cyber-bullying, workplace conflict, community breakdown and anti-social behaviour with statutory and non-statutory agencies on the Island. He has trained many practitioners from a wide range of organizations and individuals including Teachers, Prison, Police and Probation Officers, Social Workers and Faith and Community Leaders. He continues to develop strategy and Co-ordinate the implementation of that strategy in the Bailiwick and to practice as a facilitator conferencing serious incidents and crimes.
