SUMMARY:Peer Mediation - Training for Trainers - September 2026
DESCRIPTION:This online course takes place over two sessions (3.5 hours each session) on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th September 2026 from 1pm – 4.30pm\, and will enable participants to deliver peer mediation training to children and young people aged 10 to 18 years and support the development of a peer mediation scheme within their setting. \nIt will equip participants to feel confident in training and supporting young people as peer mediators. \n\n\n\nPeer mediation is a technique using a 5-stage model which enables children and young people to help their peers to resolve disagreements in a constructive and non-violent way. \nPeer mediation training is a fun and interactive programme which can be delivered in a wide variety of different settings including schools\, youth clubs and other settings where young people meet. Research and our experience suggests a hugely positive impact upon young people which can directly impact their confidence\, communication and conflict resolution skills. These skills have been proven to raise attainment. \nThis course would be of particular interest to those working with children and young people who are keen to set up a peer mediation scheme within their setting. \nPrevious experience of mediation is not required. \nParticipants will receive a toolkit of materials which will help support their learning and includes games and activities to deliver peer mediation training. \nThis training will be delivered online via Zoom. A link will be sent out one day before\, and again one hour before the event to all registered attendees. \nCosts: Don’t miss the early bird rates finishing on 31st July! £190 per non-member (£170 early bird) attendee for the full course (2 sessions) and £170 for Scottish Mediation members (£150 early bird) – (please note that organisational members can send up to two people at member rates). \nTo book this event please click HERE

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
