<h4><strong>Spotlight on: Mediation and conflict workshop</strong></h4>
<p><strong>I was recently speaking with someone who is about to join us on our mediation training course, and they reflected that – having read the course materials – they realised that mediators don’t make suggestions. This reminded me how little is known about mediation and how at times even when people think they know what mediation is, they can be misinformed.</strong>
