Mediation

Schools and trusts are complex communities often involving Heads, CEOs, Governors, Directors, Staff, Local Authority and in some cases Dioceses.
There are occasions where communication and practice can become complicated causing challenges and difference perceptions. In the most difficult circumstances, relationships can become strained or broken.
White and White Consultancy offer independent mediation services aiming to listen and hear various perceptions; find common ground and define differences. We facilitate and lead mediation across groups
Process:
-
Agree remit regarding areas of conflict.
-
Plan process and shared outcomes.
-
Produce report and action plan to re-establish positive relationships and define individual roles and responsibilities.
-
Offer a re-visitation service on an agreed basis to ensure positive continued practice.
