SUMMARY:Family Mediation Group - From In-visible to In-Demand: Building a Mediation Practice in Scotland
DESCRIPTION:The speaker at our quarterly meeting on 3rd June will be Doug Richards\, the founder of Thistle Mediation\, which is based in Edinburgh and provides mediation across Scotland. \nDoug is an accredited/registered civil and commercial mediator. Doug wants to explore with us ways of building and marketing our mediation business as he believes passionately that mediation\, including family mediation\, has huge positive potential but it’s under-used and not widely understood. \nThis meeting will be in-person at 18 York Place\, Edinburgh\, EH1 3EP\, for those who can make it.  We plan to make the meeting also available online for group members who are not able to travel on the day. Contact Simon for more details simon.horne101@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Apologies in Mediation
DESCRIPTION:While mediation is often marketed as cheaper and faster than litigation\, most mediators are motivated by wider aspirations. For many of us\, our work holds the promise of more profound resolution\, incorporating elements courts cannot order: explanation\, acknowledgement and apology. But are apologies always helpful? What makes a good apology? And should mediators encourage them? \nAnd what happens when all this takes place in the shadow of the law? Few practitioners are aware that Scotland has its own Apologies Act. In a groundbreaking study of Canadian medical negligence mediation\, Tamara Relis found that 100% of physicians and 0% of their lawyers listed an apology among their mediation aims. The pattern was similar for claimants (88% v 32%). \nThis online (Zoom) masterclass (run by Charlie Irvine) looks at the why and how of apology. We will consider: \n\nThe essential components of an apology (and the “half-apology”)\nTheir moral and emotional implications\nTheir legal implications\nHow and when mediators may play a role\n\nCharlie Irvine Biography: Charlie briefly practised as a solicitor before training as a family mediator and going on to manage Scotland’s largest family mediation service. After gaining his MSc in Conflict Resolution and Mediation Studies from Birkbeck University of London\, Charlie founded University of Strathclyde master’s programme in Mediation and Conflict Resolution in 2010. The Mediation Clinic was launched in 2011\, offering students the opportunity to mediate real-world disputes while providing a service to the local community. Since then the Clinic has expanded its scope and is now funded by Scottish Government to provide a free mediation service across most of Scotland’s courts. \nCost: £40 for members and £60 for non-members. \nTo book this event please click HERE
