# Frances Jessie SEND Consulting and Coaching

Frances Jessie operates Restorative Relationships, a specialist consultancy based in London that supports schools, students and families navigating complex educational challenges through restorative and collaborative practices. The business focuses particularly on Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) contexts, working with Alternative Provision (AP), Pupil Referral Units (PRU) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) settings.

The consultancy distinguishes itself through expertise in both restorative justice principles and special education, recognising that these approaches must work together to create meaningful solutions. Rather than imposing standard interventions, Frances Jessie helps organisations understand the root causes of challenging situations and facilitates dialogue-based processes that rebuild relationships and trust.

The business serves school leaders, educators, students and families who are struggling with relationship breakdown, behavioural issues or systemic challenges that traditional discipline approaches haven't resolved. They work with settings that recognise vulnerability and neurodiversity require compassionate, evidence-based responses rather than punitive measures.

What sets this practice apart is the integration of restorative facilitation with SEND awareness. Frances Jessie understands that students with additional needs often require differentiated approaches to conflict resolution and relationship repair, and that whole-system change requires training and embedding of these practices rather than one-off interventions. The focus on practical application—evidenced by their "Restorative Practice@Play" resource—demonstrates commitment to making theory actionable within real school contexts.
