Overview

When a diverse group of people come together, differing cultures, norms, behaviours and attitudes invariably lead to issues. When these result in disputes, the effectiveness and productivity of the parties involved is impacted, but there may also be wider implications for the business. Resolving disputes at the earliest possible moment is critical to restoring relationships and a positive work culture.

Current disciplinary and grievance procedures are generally focused on process rather than people and tend to be adversarial in nature.  By contrast, the mediation process is designed to bring individuals together in a safe environment to discuss the real issues and their needs for resolution.

The course will help participants understand the nature of conflict, the process of mediation and the skills needed to successfully mediate. Participants will learn, observe and practice the techniques of mediation.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
