Peer Mediation
International Schools Mediation Forum – Friday 24th September 2010
at West Bromwich Albion Football Ground
Peer mediation in schools is a concept which has been grasped by many schools around the UK in recent years, but many more have not heard of it, or have different programmes dealing with conflict resolution and related issues.
The purpose of the International Schools Mediation Forum is to promote awareness of peer mediation and its benefits amongst schools, trainers of peer mediators and key stakeholders in Government, local authorities and other interested parties; to promote discussion of how best to bring a national structure to the concept of mediation in schools and to obtain a consensus on how best to co-ordinate the various existing schemes and develop a central resource of materials and database of information to help those involved.
It is intended that the forum will bring together school teachers and pupils who are either involved in or seriously interested in becoming involved in peer mediation, trainers and representatives of key bodies and agencies who will have a stake in peer mediation’s development in our school communities.
