SUMMARY:Bringing Mediation into the Mainstream in Civil Justice in Scotland - Free Breakfast Seminar
DESCRIPTION:On Friday 28th June 2019 Bringing Mediation into the Mainstream in Civil Justice in Scotland was launched. This report is the result of six months of research by Scottish Mediation overseen by an Expert Group chaired by Alun Thomas and John Sturrock QC. \nThe report proposes a coordinated strategy for ‘normalising’ the use of mediation in the civil justice system. It seeks to build on existing infrastructure to minimise the cost to the public purse and to ensure mediation is embedded as seamlessly as possible. It recognises that there is a need to change the ‘one size fits all’ model of litigation and consider how the use of mediation might be increased. Hoping things will change is not a sustainable policy and Scotland needs to adopt a more proactive approach to deliver a viable pathway to mediate civil disputes. \nTo read the report please click HERE \nWe invite those interested in the Expert Group Report to attend a breakfast seminar which will offer a briefing on the contents and recommendations of the report\, an opportunity to discuss these\, and to consider what now needs to be done to take this forward. \nWe will be delivering the seminar three times in different locations. Please see details below for venues\, dates and times: \nGlasgow Seminar – Tuesday 6th August 2019\, 8.30am – 10am at Anderson Strathern\, George House\, 50 George Square\, Glasgow\, G2 1EH \nEdinburgh Seminar – Wednesday 7th August 2019\, 8.30am – 10am at Anderson Strathern\, 1 Rutland Court\, Edinburgh\, EH3 8EY \nDundee Seminar – Thursday 8th August 2019\, 8.30am – 10am\, The River Rooms\, 9th Floor\, Tower Building\, University of Dundee\, Perth Road\, Dundee\, DD1 4HN \nWhen booking please state your preference as to which location you would like to attend. \nTo book please click HERE

SUMMARY:Mediate 2018 Conference - Widening the Scope
DESCRIPTION:This year’s conference theme is ‘Widening the Scope’. The conference will look at the current scope of mediation. Where is it being used and how is it making an impact? It will look at mediation in action and the different skills being applied in different circumstances. It will also look to the future and\, using the projects being discussed as a starting point\, ask the question of how the scope of mediation could be widened. \nWe have two excellent plenary sessions. \nJo Berry and Patrick Magee are in conversation about Building Bridges for Peace. Building Bridges for Peace advances conflict transformation by facilitating those involved in hostilities to break the cycle of violence and revenge by appreciating the humanity of their opponents and the power of empathy.  Founder Jo Berry and Patrick Magee – who was convicted for the Brighton bombing that killed Jo’s father – facilitate workshops around the world which enable dialogue between opposing groups and give talks on conflict resolution and alternatives to violence. \nAileen O’Brien and  Chris McDonagh from the Traveller Mediation Service (TMS) are presenting a session which will tell us about an exciting and innovative TMS project in Ireland which has trained Travellers themselves to mediate Traveller conflicts. They will also tell us about their pilot peer mediation project which was delivered in an Irish prison where inmates were predominantly from a Traveller background. This offers an interesting new perspective on the use of a peer mediation model which has more often been used in schools. \nOur workshop programme includes; \nSarah Welsh from Scottish Mediation will discuss the Young Talk Peer Mediation Project and consider how things are working and how it could potentially develop in the future. \nAlison Ebbitt will explore mental health in relation to mediation. The workshop will cover: understanding mental health; the impact of stress; and\, behaviour in conflict and how it impacts upon mental health. Alison will also consider situations when mediation would not be appropriate. \nWill Linden\, Co-Deputy Director of the Violence Reduction Unit and Sam Tedcastle\, Senior Practitioner at the Centre for Good Relations will be an explore the potential of mediation to prevent and reduce violence in communities. They will consider two different communities and how they are affected by violence. How does the violence manifest and what is underpinning it? They will then consider what are the mediation roles that could help prevent and reduce violence. \nUsing their new Housing Mediation Project at the University of Strathclyde as the focus for debate\, Charlie Irvine and Carolyn Hirst will deliver a Workshop which considers the mixed feelings about mediation in the resolution of legal and contractual disputes. Drawing on their knowledge and experience of mediation theory and practice\, they will encourage discussion on the structural and ideological barriers to using this form of dispute resolution and what might be needed to improve mediation receptivity. \nDenise Triessman will deliver a workshop looking at self-care for mediators. (Both AM and PM sessions) \nDr Lesley Allport and Roland Chesters will explore the growing development of Disability Mediation as a specialist area of practice. They will discuss the work of the Disability Mediation Working Group\, supported by the College of Mediators and its progress so far and identify the difference between inclusive working and disability mediation. Participants will be invited to consider what it means to be a disability mediator and the issues and challenges that this work raises. \nSam Tedcastle\, Senior Practitioner at the Centre for Good Relations will explore how civic mediation processes can be used to support respectful dialogue across groups with opposing and extreme views. This work will consider where these conversations can build resilience in Scottish communities and encourage participants to reflect on some of the personal dilemmas that may arise when facilitating such a process. \nAnd finally\, the Workplace and Employment Initiative Group (WEIG) will present a session entitled The Influence of Lawyers on Mediation  – the Good\, the Bad and the Ugly\, delivered by Alun Thomas\, Employment Partner at Anderson Strathern. \nPlease click here to fill out a conference feedback form.

SUMMARY:Masterclass - Motivating Behaviour Change
DESCRIPTION:Masterclass – Motivating Behaviour Change – Techniques for Mediators from Addiction Therapy \nThis workshop run by Jeremy Scuse (Catalyst Mediation – please see biography below) will consider the techniques successfully used by experts in the UK and US to change some of the most ingrained negative behaviour – addictions. \nMotivational Interviewing (MI) has many similarities in tone and approach to mediation and has some excellent questioning techniques and ideas of how to help a client make the decision to change their behaviour – for themselves. It is one of the techniques voted “most useful” in our training courses over the last 2 years. \nMediators will receive notes on the topic before the session and links to the wider subject and have an opportunity to share their own experiences of a client’s intractable behaviour and practice how MI techniques might have offered an alternative approach. \nThis workshop is suitable for new and experienced mediators in any mediation discipline. \nA light lunch will be provided at 1pm.  \nBiography  Jeremy Scuse BSc Hons. FIOD MHR \nI have always been interested in what makes people tick.  My career started with a degree in Psychology and then 25 years in senior international marketing\, followed by 10 years setting up my own companies and acting as a Non Executive Director for entrepreneurs. I accredited as a Mediator with CEDR in 2003 and set up Catalyst Mediation in 2005. We have helped people to resolve many different commercial\, IPR\, workplace\, estate\, partnership and shareholder disputes. I coach\, train\, lecture\, share skills and give demonstrations of communication\, negotiation\, early dispute resolution and mediation to councils\, HR staff\, legal firms\, their clients\, mediators\, in fact anyone I can persuade to sit still for long enough. \nFor booking details please click here \n

SUMMARY:A more collaborative planning system – what can a mediation approach offer?
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce our forthcoming conference in partnership with PAS (http://pas.org.uk/) on the 21st February 2016\, which will consider the potential for the greater use of mediation in the Scottish Planning system. \nThis event comes following the recent planning review which highlighted mediation in three of its recommendations\, and the publication of the recent Scottish Government Planning Consultation which also mentions mediation and the potential for its wider use. PAS and Scottish Mediation are looking to explore how this can be facilitated to improve engagement within planning. The conference will include a number of plenaries\, collaborative exercises and case studies which will give participants the opportunity to consider the wider use of collaborative approaches in the planning system and to hear from professional planners and mediators. \nIt would be fantastic to see any mediators or other relevant professionals there who have an interest in planning and the built environment and how mediation can be used more widely to support engagement and decision-making. \nFor further information and how to book\, please see here:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-more-collaborative-planning-system-what-can-a-mediation-approach-offer-tickets-29144291360 \nPAS and Scottish Mediation would like to thank the Planning and Architecture Division\, Scottish Government\, for sponsoring the conference.
