National Forum for Mediation in Higher Education

Universities and colleges across the UK are increasingly embracing the principles of mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Mediation is now widely used to resolve campus and workplace disputes quickly, effectively and constructively.

This one day forum will explore the issues and trends facing today's Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The forum will also look at best practice in dispute resolution and will allow for shared experiences and networking opportunities.

The forum will be chaired by David Liddle, President of the PMA and will be run at The UK Mediation Academy in Hatton Garden, central London.

The National Forum enables HEI managers, HR professionals and Student Liaison Officers to explore the nature and benefits of mediation and share their experiences, and will include the following:
 

• Guest speakers from leading UK universities including Jill White from Surrey University and Dr Nick McGuire from Southampton University
• The latest issues facing the sector
• Techniques and best practice for handling disputes across campus
• Networking opportunities to meet other HEI professionals
