SUMMARY:Intersectional Training
DESCRIPTION:What is intersectionality and why is it important? \nAre you aware of the way in which different types of discrimination (= unfair treatment because of a person’s sex\, race\, etc.) are connected to and affect each other. Attend this CPD event to find out more. \nPeople who belong to more than one marginalised group (eg LGBTI\, disabled\, neurodivergent\, Black\, Asian and minority ethnic) face multiple oppressions\, discrimination and barriers\, including erasure and exclusion from our own communities.. This is often reflected in organisations that primarily focus on one protected characteristic and may not have the necessary knowledge to help service users with the barriers they may face because of the intersecting aspects of those identities. This can lead to attitudes and practices which make spaces unsafe or unwelcoming for those who may need to access them the most. \nThis training will help you to: \n– Listen to the lived experience of people with intersectional identities. \n– Learn the best terminology to use about LGBTI people and others. \n– Identify barriers that people may face to participating in your service. \n– Increase access and tackle discrimination. \n– Integrate an intersectional approach across your service. \nThe Trainers: \nRowan Alison is an Intersectional Project Officer with a particular interest in mental health\, disabled access\, neurodiversity and bi+ issues. \nMel Maguire is an Intersectional Project Officer with a particular interest in women’s rights\, bi+ issues and anti-racism. \nAbout Equality Network’s Intersectional Project: \nThe Equality Network is a leading national charity working for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) equality and human rights in Scotland. The Intersectional Project creates publications\, resources and training about including people whose identity falls in more than one marginalised group. \nHow much: £30 members\, £60 non members.  \nLink: Zoom link to be sent out nearer the time. \nTo book this session please click HERE

SUMMARY:Equality and Diversity Seminar – Progress to Date and Next Steps
DESCRIPTION:Please note this event is for Scottish Mediation members only. \nScottish Mediation has been working for a period on how it can best understand the equality and diversity issues that make an impact on mediation and how we can best respond. \nDuring that period we have undertaken a journey with Hallmark of Inclusion which has led us to survey staff and the Board of SM to help identify key issues and areas of that we can progress. \nIn it’s most recent strategic plan we said we would work to ‘better reflect the diversity of the population we serve\, and in doing so capture the diversity of thinking and practice that would bring.’ \nWe’d like to invite you to a seminar where we’ll review the work that’s taken place highlighting the key findings and then discuss what objectives we’d like to take forward over the next year\, what that work might look like and how people can get involved. \nThe seminar will be led by Amanda Heenan from Arc of Inclusion and Graham Boyack from Scottish Mediation. \nZoom link to be sent out nearer the time. \nIf you would like to book this event please click HERE

SUMMARY:Mediate 2022 - Listening\, Learning\, Connecting\, Reflecting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual conference\, Mediate 2022\, for a day of listening\, learning\, connecting and reflecting. The event will include the following: \nKeynote Speakers: \nKathryn Mannix\, who believes that bringing ourselves into conversations that we perceive as ‘tender’ rather than ‘difficult’ can help us to be companions to people in distress. Rather than ‘fixing\,’ we can validate their experience and help them to be authors of their own solutions. \nDr Gurchathen S Sanghera FRSA: \nFuture Challenges for Mediation in Scotland. \nGurchathen joined the School of International Relations in 2007 and is a Senior Lecturer. Gurchathen’s research explores the complexities of social justice and\, in particular\, the discursive and material reproduction of marginalisation and exclusion globally\, nationally and locally. More specifically\, his research is concerned with examining the ways in which various forms of discrimination intersect (for example caste\, class\, gender\, geographical\, sexual\, religious) to shape people’s everyday lives and how\, in turn\, people respond to such processes. This work draws on empirical research and is also informed by theoretical debates. He has conducted extensive fieldwork in India\, Liberia\, Haiti\, and the UK (Bradford and Scotland) \nWorkshops: \nPeer Mediation (Kathryn Hilditch) –  Scottish Mediation has recently been working across Fife council and developing a new model of Peer Mediation delivery to support this. What have we learned? What have we changed? What’s the future? \nWhat happens when mediations get stuck (Tony Buon) – It can be challenging and frustrating for all when mediation gets stuck. In this interactive session\, Tony will explore what mediators can do to help the parties move forward.  \nAdapting Practice (Charlie Irvine)–  Does one size fits all when mediating? How might you adapt your mediation process and style to fit different types of cases? \nConflict Avoidance in the construction industry (Len Bunton) –  A big focus in the construction industry is a switch in focus from Dispute resolution to conflict avoidance. Where does mediation fit with this\, what’s involved and are there lesson for other sectors? \nMediators Green Pledge – Led by Emma Anstead the workshop will examine how mediators can take practical steps to reduce the environmental impact of their practice.  \nUsing Mediation at Protests and Demonstrations – Exploring how mediation can be applied in the context of live protests and demonstrations.  \nAdditional: \nPanel discussion and social gathering at the end of the day. Additional speakers and workshops to be announced soon! \nWe look forward to welcoming you to our conference!  \nAt Scottish Mediation we would not want cost to be a barrier for those who wish to come along\, if this is hindering you from attending please contact us at admin@scottishmediation.org.uk. There is also an option to donate towards tickets for others on the ticket page. \nTo book this event please click HERE

SUMMARY:Duties and Dilemmas: The Practical Application of Ethics in Mediation
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will combine a modest amount of talk and electronic chalk with scenarios and tricky questions. The aim is to encourage us to reflect and share what each of us would do when faced with an ethical dilemma in a mediation\, and why. \nWe will set the scene\, connecting ethical frameworks with the fundamental principles of mediation. We will then go on and explore how different ethical duties may come into tension in hard cases\, and explore how each of us might try to manage or resolve such tensions. \nWhile the dilemmas may be easy to answer at the extremes of black and white\, it may be that the trickier cases in the middle contain many more shades of grey. \nWho: The session will be led by Craig Cathcart\, mediator and Senior Lecturer in Dispute Resolution at Queen Margaret University\, Edinburgh. It will be of interest to any practising mediator. \nHow: Online Zoom \nWhen: Wednesday 28 September 1.30pm-4pm \nHow much: £30 members £60 non members \nTo book this event please click HERE

SUMMARY:Mediate 2021 Conference - Changing the Frame\, Framing the Changes
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to announce details of our 2021 annual conference\, Mediate 2021 on Monday 15th November 9.00am-1.00pm and Tuesday 16th November 1.00pm-5.00pm. \nTaking place over two half days our theme this year is abut Changing the frame of mediation in order to widen engagement with it across society. On Monday we hear from David Liddle who is not only a successful author on management and organisations but also CEO of the TCM group delivering workplace mediation across the UK. `We finish the day with a panel discussion on what we have learned from online mediation and what the future holds. On the Tuesday we welcome Liz Stokoe Professor of Social Interaction at Loughborough University. Her recent research relates to what many view as core aspects of mediation practice\, rapport building and the use of open questions. We’re sure that what she has to say will raise some eyebrows and challenge our views. We finish the conference with the person who has provided the inspiration for our theme\, Dr Anna Howard. Through her research on cross border mediation she has found that if we are to se a greater use of mediation we need to promote it in a way which complements rather than being posed an an alternative. \nOver the two days there will also be a range of workshops providing an opportunity for discussion and to meet other delegates. \nLink will be sent out nearer the time. \nFor more information and to book this event please click HERE \nFor the brochure/programme please click HERE

SUMMARY:Reflective Practice – The Road from Basic Training to Artistry
DESCRIPTION:This Scottish Mediation seminar (run by Roy Poyntz\, biography in link below) will build on the foundations laid in our earlier June 2021 meeting\, although you don’t have to have attended: all welcome. It will be a highly interactive encounter with reflective practice using exercises\, group work and applications. It will be of relevance to mediators of all levels of experience and to those who practice as co-mediators and/or solo. \nArgyris and Schön – two leading scholars in the field – propose that reflective practice is a route for a professional to construct their own personal theory of practice. We will explore this concept and how it leads to an assurance of competence whilst also representing what makes each of us distinctive. The seminar will blend theory – as a language with explanatory power – with practical exercises that will promote both reflective and reflexive learning. \nCost: £40 members\, £80 non members \nTo book this event please click HERE \nZoom link to be sent out nearer the time

SUMMARY:Strathclyde Housing Mediation Project invite you to observe a "Mock Housing Mediation Session"
DESCRIPTION:Strathclyde Housing Mediation Project invite you to observe a “Mock Housing Mediation Session” on Wednesday 16 June at 11.00am – 12noon. \nThis event is free but registration via Eventbrite is required. A link will be emailed to participants who register nearer the time of the event. \nMediation makes particular sense for housing matters. Cost-effective\, efficient\, and pragmatic\, it is less damaging to relationships than formal action.   The consensual approach means agreements are more likely to be fulfilled\, reducing the risk of eviction. \nOur webinar event will demonstrate how a mediation session works and will focus on a “typical ” tenant/landlord housing case within the Private Rented Sector. \nParticipants will be able to observe how two mediators along with two parties attempt to guide the parties to resolution. \nWho is this event aimed at? \nThis event is particularly useful to Tenants\, Landlords\, Letting Agents as well as those working within organisations that deal with issues such as repairs\, rent arrears\, deposits\, communication\, and general tenant/landlord issues. \nAnyone who has an interest in housing\, including mediators\, and is interested in alternative ways to resolve disputes will also find this helpful. \nI’d be grateful if you could please share this with your contacts on email and social media. \nThe event will be facilitated by Charlie Irvine\, the Director of the Mediation Clinic. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact: \nPauline McKay\, Housing Mediation Project Development Worker: pauline.mckay@strath.ac.uk \nWe look forward to welcoming you on the 16 June.

SUMMARY:Listening to Disputants - Changing the Frame; Framing the Changes
DESCRIPTION:Anna Howard’s new book and this free event draws on research carried out for her recently awarded PHd. Her research with in-house counsel for multinational companies draws some important conclusions about how to promote mediation. \n• the prominent role played by negotiation as a cross-border dispute resolution process; \n• that negotiation is a key comparator for disputants when considering whether to use mediation; \n• how the EU’s continued focus on understanding and presenting mediation as an alternative to litigation has resulted in measures which are insufficient to address fully the barriers to the use of mediation; \n• intriguing barriers to the use of mediation which arise from the association which disputants draw between mediation and negotiation; \n• how the relationship which disputants draw between mediation and negotiation paradoxically raises both opportunities for\, and obstacles to\, the increased use of mediation; and \n• what disputants need in order to increase their use of cross-border mediation \nZoom link and details to be sent out nearer the time. \nFor more information and to book this free event\, please click HERE
