Scottish Mediation

Scottish Mediation We aim to promote mediation, to demonstrate its use and benefits, increase its profile and support excellence in conflict resolution practices in Scotland.

Scottish Mediation was established in 1990 to:

-Raise the profile of mediation in Scotland.
-Act as a professional body for mediators in Scotland.
-Maintain the Scottish Mediation Register and provide access to quality assured mediation services. Scottish Mediation seeks to:

-Promote a wider understanding of the appropriate use of mediation and other related forms of conflict management and prev

ention.
-Support and promote education, training and research in skills and best practice.
-Create and encourage links between mediators and Scottish public, private, voluntary and community organisations.
-Promote and organise standards of professional conduct and training. The Scottish Mediation Helpline (SMH) is set up to provide the public with a simple, low cost way of resolving a wide range of disputes. The SMH answers general enquiries about mediation and puts parties in contact with a mediator.

Wow, fantastic feedback, and participation on the Workplace Conversion Course, which introduced mediators experienced in other fields to the problem of workplace disagreement and conflict. Both Carol Hope & Jeremy Scuse were exceptional facilitators.

One participant said “The course leaders had such a wealth of insight and experience which they shared generously. They also created a welcoming and safe environment.”.

You can even see the joy in our final day photo:

Do you know the date Forth Railway Bridge was completed? No, neither did we, it was 1890.

Graham, May & Heather attended a quiz hosted by Relationship Scotland to help raise funds for IT equipment in the York Place training rooms. It was also an opportunity to meet our colleagues and fellow “boarders” who work in the York Place office and beyond. Thank you to Relationship Scotland for hosting a fun evening while raising nearly £1,500!

Our next question is, when is the next one? 🤩🙌

Fantastic engagement and discussion in our Managing Relationships in the Third Sector workshop. One piece of feedback that stood out: “I can honestly say that this was one of the most useful training sessions I’ve been to in a long time.” Always rewarding to see practical skills making an impact. 🙌
