More and more children are being criminalised, but what can schools do to try and prevent children from getting involved in crime and entering the criminal justice system?

Brislington Enterprise College in Bristol are trying to reduce the number of exclusions with a restorative justice approach, in which victims and offenders are brought together, with the conference counting towards local police crime targets.
