“Ask what is strong, not what is wrong”

“Ask what is strong, not what is wrong”
 
A couple of Fridays ago I was lucky enough to attend the Restorative Justice Council annual conference in Cardiff. There I heard from experienced restorative practitioners across different sectors talk about changing the culture within their organisations from a punitive to a restorative one. A single phrase in particular stood out for me – “ask what is strong not what is wrong”. This has stayed with me since. It echoes my experience of delivering Outcomes Star™ training and of hearing the experiences of Sacro workers where they help those they support build on their strengths. It also has another meaning for me.
