  • Summary

  • In this episode, Tessa and Roy talked about: *His involvement in Peace Circles being rooted in his childhood with Adverse Childhood Events * How circles can increase inclusion and belonging in schools – in 7 years only 7 days of exclusion across the whole school * Using the framework of the ‘Four Rooms’ – intellectual, emotional, practical and spiritual in every circle – to deal with conflict quickly through structure of ‘When you…’, ‘I feel….’, ‘because….’, ‘what can we do about it?’ * Different levels of circle from senior management – with mixed staff (dinner ladies, ground staff) and mixed year groups * Thrice weekly meetings called ‘family circles’ by children * Staff trained in holding circle and moving through restorative, chaotic and self-organising circles * Circle works to re-educate away from simple hierarchy to transcend and become more inclusive * Circles can hold conflict and prevent escalation * Intergeneration circles build maturity in younger members * Circles provide spaces where people can be called out but lead to change rather than conflict and unhealthy confrontation
