RestorativU

Why did
we create
RestorativU?

There is a change
in the air.

Organisations of all kinds, from local authorities and statutory agencies through to universities and large multinationals are adopting restorative principles.

The evidence on the impact and effectiveness of mentoring as a way of supporting people through issues and challenges is compelling and thoroughly evidenced based.

Bringing Restorative approaches into mentoring is such a logical evolution for individuals and organisations that recognise that they are actually a community with a need to prevent as well as avoid issues that cause harm and repair problems as quickly and efficiently as possible when they occur.

Companies, educational institutions and community groups will also see significant cultural and economic benefits from our approach

A need for
online mentoring

We will be offering a technology platform which will enable the beneficiary to participate in 1-1 virtual mentoring sessions in much the same way as they would do if it was face to face.

Online Mentoring solves the geography problem, offers flexible, and saves you time. But it doesn’t stop there an individual can the access restorative services such mediation, circles and conferences as and when needed from their mobile device.

RestorativU is where AI technology, case management, and virtual participation meets the Gig Economy approach to supplying the most competent mentors and facilitators. Now organisations can not only rely on the best technology, but also be supported by the most skilled professionals in the mentoring and restorative industries.

Founder of Restorativ

For an organisation to adopt a fully restorative approach, it needs to understand and measure the results of that evolution. Only a sound technological approach can supply that.

Once they have that ability, real change can happen and all members of that organisational community benefit, including providing real cost savings.
