Managing Relationships in the Third Sector

Working or serving as a trustee in charities and voluntary organisations can be deeply rewarding—but managing relationships can also be challenging. The passion and commitment people bring to the third sector, combined with the complex dynamics between employees, trustees, volunteers and partners, can increase the risk of misunderstanding and conflict. Partnership working, where different values, cultures and priorities meet, can further heighten tensions.

For over ten years, Scottish Mediation has supported third sector organisations to manage and resolve conflict constructively, helping them avoid stressful, time-consuming and potentially damaging disputes.

This three-hour online workshop provides a practical opportunity to explore:

• the common causes of conflict in the third sector and how disputes can escalate
• effective approaches to managing relationships and addressing complaints
• constructive ways to resolve disagreements before they become entrenched

Facilitated by experienced practitioners from Scottish Mediation, the session draws on established mediation techniques and also offers clear insight into how mediation works, when it is most effective, and how it can support healthier organisational relationships.

Who should attend? Anyone working or volunteering in the Third Sector. Attendees can claim 3 hour CPD.

Cost: £40 including handout and certificate.
