Mediation
Warwick Mediation
A confidential service for staff and students. Mediation allows you to have difficult conversations in a safe environment with a trained impartial mediator. They will facilitate the discussion to help everyone involved to listen to each other and support you as you identify areas of commonality and difference. The mediator will not solve the problem for you, instead they will help you to analyse the problem, decide what you want to achieve and come to a mutually agreed solution.
Mediation is voluntary and so all the parties in conflict must agree to take part but we are able to offer conflict coaching if one party wishes to mediate and the other/others do not.
No conflict is too small for mediation, however mediation is not appropriate if there has been obvious bullying or harassment, or if one party is clearly at fault (in such instances, a restorative conversation may be appropriate if the party/parties accepts they have harmed the other). The team invite you to contact us to discuss restorative solutions.
