Style 3: Getting it right

Getting it Right is about working out problems and resolving conflicts by taking time to think about the problem and act in a way that is safe and fair for all the people involved.

Sometimes after you have thought about the problem you may decide it’s not that important after all, so you don’t take any action. So Getting it right will mean doing nothing!

But if you decide the problem is important you will need to take action and do something to solve the problem.

Getting it Right is solving problems by

talking to and

listening to each other.

It is solving the problem without arguing or fighting and not ignoring it.
