Right From Wrong teaches one skill - restorative practice: how to handle conflict, take accountability, and repair relationships. Delivered in prisons, schools, and organisations.
One skill sits at the centre of all of it:
restorative practice - how to have the difficult conversation, how to step back from a trigger, how to repair a relationship before it ends.Jacob never learned it - and one punch cost a man his life.
At 19, Jacob Dunne threw a single punch on a night out. It killed a man - James Hodgkinson - and Jacob served time for manslaughter. He left prison homeless, unemployed and without direction.
Through restorative justice he met James’s parents, Joan and David - and learned the skill he’d never been taught: how to face the harm he’d caused, and how to put what he felt into words. It rebuilt his life: a first-class degree, a family, a career.
He founded Right From Wrong to teach that skill. His story has since reached millions - an ARIA-winning BBC Radio 4 series, his book, and Punch, James Graham’s play drawn from it, touring the UK into 2027. Where the play has been, it primes the room before we ever walk in.
The skill he learned to rebuild his life is the skill Right From Wrong teaches.
We teach one restorative skill - delivered as three programmes.
A six-week programme of film, journal and circles, led by vetted facilitators with lived experience - built to run on any wing and reduce the conflict that drives reoffending.
Train-the-trainer CPD that fits INSET days and twilights, delivered by former teachers - equipping every adult in the building to resolve conflict before it escalates, so exclusions fall.
Restorative leadership training and workshops that turn the moment of friction into the moment of growth - rebuilding workplace relationships and a healthier culture.
