FACE for Schools — Restorative Practices & Principles in Our Schools
In 2001, a community information meeting attracted attention from one of the high schools. In 2002, a training of students and teachers from 3 high schools took place, so that the FACE Program could be duplicated to deal with offences and conflicts internally within these schools. In 2003, the FACE Program trained additional high school students in Midland and Elmvale and a nucleus of trainees in 6 more high schools from Alliston, Innisdale, and Barrie.
In 2009, FACE developed a proposal for school boards to assist with in-school training which involves administrators, teachers, staff, students and parents, assists with use of circle principles and practices for small and large incidents, and mentors 2 in-school restorative justice coordinators to create a sustainable restorative justice culture within the school with support from the FACE Program over the span of 1½ years.
