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.

As a mediator what approach should we adopt with them?\nThe Disputants – Do managers in a dispute differ from anyone else in conflict – what motivates them\, who advises them\, how important is ‘face’\, and how important is it to follow procedure?\nThe Life of the Dispute – The internal and legal status stages a complaint may go throughbefore it comes to mediation and how this can affect the parties\nWorkplace Conflict – So\, how do workplace conflicts differ from those between neighbours or within families?Transformative or Facilitative – The mediators objectives: what realistic outcomes can be expected from a workplace mediation?\nMediation Format – Many workplace conflicts will have taken years before the mediator is involved. So how might we adapt our mediation styles to cope with long embedded conflict?\nWritten Communication – Many workplace mediations take place over several meetings\, sometimes weeks apart. What sort of written communications between the mediators and the individuals can help the process?\nPractice\, Practice\, Practice – Over two days\, we will use actual case histories as the basis to practice your newfound skills\nDebrief and Evaluation – Final question and answer session and addressing of any outstanding concerns\n\nThis session will be facilitated by award winning freelance mediation trainer Carol Hope and Jeremy Scuse an experienced workplace mediator (see below for Carol and Jeremy’s biography). \nEdinburgh \nMonday 12th and Tuesday 13th December 2016\, 9am – 5pm\nScottish Mediation Network\, 18 York Place\, Edinburgh\, EH1 3EP\nCosts: £300 per attendee for the two days\, including course hand outs\, lunch and refreshments.\n£240 for SMN Members.\n(Organisational members can send up to 2 people at member rates). \nBooking:\nPlease email admin@scottishmediation.org.uk if you would like to attend. \n\nJeremy Scuse Biography\n\n\nI have always been interested in what makes people tick.
