Mediation

The College of Mediators
Peaceworks Mediation Skills Training is approved by the College of Mediators. The College of Mediators - established in 1996 - sets standards for mediation and maintains a register of mediator members who meet those standards, and  works to promote best practice in mediation and to protect the public. Peaceworks has an experienced team of four senior mediators, all of whom are Recognised Members of the College of Mediators. We also have a panel of mediators in training who assist as and when they are needed.

West Sussex Mediation Service
West Sussex Mediation Service offer a community-based service dealing with disputes between individuals or groups, particularly neighborhood disputes. Their service is free to all residents within our area of coverage - Horsham District, Crawley Borough, Mid Sussex District, Arun and Adur Districts plus Worthing Borough. They have a large team of trained volunteer mediators who live in the local community.

Bridge Builders
Bridge Builders serves in the ministry of peacemaking and reconciliation, seeking to transform conflict within the church. A programme of the London Mennonite Centre (LMC), Bridge Builders provides training, mediation, consultancy, and related services for all Christian churches and denominations in Britain. The vision for Bridge Builders grows out of the historical Mennonite commitment to the way of peace and non-retaliation against enemies as central elements of the Christian gospel. A number of Peaceworks' mediators have been trained at the London Mennonite Centre.

Peer Mediation Network
The Peer Mediation Network's aim is to promote and support the development of conflict resolution and mediation among organisations working with young people. It is made up of various organisations active in the field of peer mediation - including Peaceworks.

Peacebuilders
Peacebuilders, based in Manchester, provide a similar service to Peaceworks. They are establishing peer mediation schemes in local schools, and offer an independent workplace and community mediation service.
