CONFLICT RESOLUTION. Conflict is normal we all have times when we don’t get on with our friends. Being angry is also normal but being angry with the right person in the right way can be difficult. Sometimes we get angry because we have jumped to conclusions

Conflict is normal we all have times when we don’t get on with our friends Being angry is also normal but being angry with the right person in the right way can be difficult. Sometimes we get angry because we have jumped to conclusions Maybe it’s because our friends have told us that ‘she ‘ said something rude about us Or we just don’t like them Or we could just be having a bad day.
How can I help you My role in the school is to help students discuss their differences To let each student tell me what has happened and explain the incident from their point of view To help the students understand how their actions affect other people
When we meet I ask these questions Can you tell me what happened What were you thinking What were you feeling How do you feel about the incident now Who do you think has been affected What would you like to happen now
BY ASKING THE QUESTIONS I CAN TELL IF A MEETING IS A GOOD IDEA IF THE STUDENTS AGREE TO A MEETING I WILL ARRANGE IT IF THE STUDENT WANTS ME TO SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF I CAN DO THAT TOO. IF THE STUDENTS DON’T WANT TO TAKE PART THAT IS FINE TOO IT IS UP TO THE STUDENTS TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO HAPPEN
The meeting I suggest we listen to each other respectfully Tell the truth And then I ask each student in turn the questions! Once each student has spoken they are asked to comment on what they have heard I then ask each student if they can see how their actions have affected the other person
SOMETIMES STUDENTS DON’T AGREE ON WHAT HAPPENED SO WE NEGOTIATE MAYBE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE MAYBE LOOK AT WHY THE STUDENTS SEE THE INCIDENT DIFFERENTLY OR WE MIGHT JUST TALK ABOUT HOW TO MOVE ON
I don’t expect the student to be friends but if they can be I will encourage it If they want to be friends again I ask them to think about what it was they liked about the other person If they don’t want to be friends then we look at ways they can avoid each other and not to listen to other students gossiping about them
There are quite a few people in school who can use it to help you when you have conflict with your friends Miss Parsons in STOR Mrs Conway Mrs Dowden Mrs Curran And me Brigid And we call it RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
