SUMMARY:Conflict as an Opportunity: Embedding Mediation within Education
DESCRIPTION:ASIC Standards for Growth – A Best Practice Series for International Education Leaders \nConflict as an Opportunity: Embedding Mediation within Education\nThis CPD-certified webinar will explore how conflict\, although often regarded negatively\, can provide valuable information about relationships\, communication\, organisational culture and areas requiring improvement. \nWe will consider how mediation can help educational institutions manage conflict involving students\, staff\, parents\, leadership teams and external partners. Drawing upon workplace\, civil and commercial\, and education-based mediation practice\, the session will examine how organisations can address concerns at an earlier stage\, before relationships deteriorate or matters become unnecessarily entrenched in formal complaints and disciplinary procedures. \nThe presentation will also explore how mediation principles and practical conflict-management skills can be embedded within educational programmes\, staff development and wider institutional systems. This will include consideration of: \n\nconflict as a potential opportunity for learning and improvement;\nthe benefits and limitations of mediation within education;\nworkplace conflict involving teaching\, administrative and leadership teams;\nstudent\, staff and parent disputes;\ncivil and commercial disputes involving educational providers and their partners;\nsafeguarding\, power imbalances and institutional duties of care;\nwhen mediation is appropriate and when a formal process must take priority;\ndeveloping clear institutional pathways for managing conflict; and\nincorporating mediation and conflict-resolution skills into educational programmes.\n\nThe session will be practical and interactive\, including a short education-based case study and opportunities for participants to reflect upon how conflict is currently managed within their own institutions. \nWe will conclude by briefly introducing Veritas Mediation Academy and our interest in developing international partnerships. We are seeking suitable educational and professional organisations with which we can deliver or incorporate our specialist training in civil and commercial\, workplace and family mediation. Our approach combines robust educational standards with practical skills development\, observed practice\, reflection and quality assurance. \nStuart Hanson\nFounder and Lead Trainer\nVeritas Mediation Academy \nStuart Hanson is an award-winning mediator\, qualified teacher and founder of Veritas Mediation Academy.
