Mediation is a
method of conflict resolution that aims to assist parents, pupils and education
authorities who are in disagreement to reach a mutually acceptable solution,
with the help of a neutral independent third party – the mediator.

Govan Law Centre's mediation
service operates across Scotland, and mediation can be accessed by parties in any education authority
area on an ad hoc basis. For

The education
law unit offers in-depth training for mediators which covers both mediation
skills and the additional support needs framework within which the mediator has
to work. This training
is offered at a greatly reduced cost for volunteer mediators. For more

Training on the mediation process is also available for education authorities,
advisers or parent groups.
