SUMMARY:Dealing with Difficult Tenants – A Toolkit for Landlords’
DESCRIPTION:Provided in partnership with Landlord Accreditation Scotland and the Safedeposits Scotland Charitable Trust the aim of these online sessions is to support landlords deal with conflict that can arise during a tenancy. \nBeing a landlord requires many skills\, some of which are more straight forward than others. Dealing with difficult situations that can occur during a tenancy is less straightforward and can be a challenge for landlords who are often managing this on their own. We will look at how matters can escalate and examine how skills and techniques used in mediation can be of real help. \nTo cover the topic in full\, we have created two courses each with two sessions. \nThe first course Conflict & Communication helps us recognise why conflict arises and the second Time for Solutions goes on to help us manage conflict that we couldn’t prevent. \nWhilst each course can stand alone\, the second course builds on concepts introduced in the first so we strongly recommend you attend both. \nConflict & Communication \nSession 1: Why tenant issues escalate: Understanding conflict (1 hour)\nUnderstand how conflict can arise and why it can escalate. \nSession 2: Communicating with tenants: Preventing and reducing tension (1 hour)\nFind out how active listening skills can help you avoid conflict or prevent it from escalating and explore the benefits of different types of communications. \nTime for Solutions \nSession 1 Moving past stalemates: What tenants say vs. what they need (1 hour)\nLearn how to use questioning skills to get away from entrenched positions and identify underlying interests and needs. \nSession 2 : Win–Win solutions: Practical problem solving with tenants (1 hour)\nUnderstand how a variety of problem-solving techniques including reframing can help you reach workable solutions. \nHaving completed both courses \, you will be able to:\n• recognise situations where conflict could arise\n• use mediation tools to de-escalate and resolve conflict\n• understand how to access mediation should you need to. \nYou may not be experiencing this situation at present\, but attending will ensure you have the skills needed should it arise in the future. \nFor more information and to book please email us at admin@scottishmediation.org.uk

SUMMARY:Mediate 2026 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of every conflict lies a relationship\, whether between colleagues\, business partners\, family members\, communities\, or institutions. Equally\, the process of mediation does more than resolve disputes; it influences how parties see one another\, communicate\, and move forward together. This conference explores the dynamic and reciprocal connection between relationships and mediation\, examining how each shapes and transforms the other. \nBringing together mediators\, conflict resolution practitioners\, legal professionals\, academics\, organisational leaders\, and policymakers\, the event will provide a platform for learning\, dialogue\, and innovation. Through keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, interactive workshops\, and case studies\, participants will explore the human dimensions of conflict and the powerful role mediation plays in fostering understanding\, trust\, and constructive engagement. \nThis event offers an opportunity to connect with peers\, share experiences\, and contribute to a deeper understanding of mediation’s role in strengthening relationships and building more collaborative\, resilient communities. \nWe’re not online this year and will be fully focussed on the discussions in the room. It’s a great chance to meet other mediators\, learn from other’s best practice and perhaps to make some new relationships yourself. \nSpeakers (more to be confirmed): \nProfessor Bryan Clark\, Head of the School of Law\, Lancaster University – Are Relationships Possible Using AI \nTo book this event please click HERE (early bird tickets available)!!!

SUMMARY:Managing Relationships in the Third Sector
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFor 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. \nThis three-hour online workshop provides a practical opportunity to explore: \n\nthe common causes of conflict in the third sector and how disputes can escalate\neffective approaches to managing relationships and addressing complaints\nconstructive ways to resolve disagreements before they become entrenched\n\nFacilitated 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. \nWho should attend? Anyone working or volunteering in the Third Sector. Attendees can claim 3 hour CPD. \nCost: £50 including handout and certificate. \nTo book this event please click HERE
