The Peer Mediation Network (PMN) brings together conflict resolution practitioners and others committed to promoting peer mediation in schools and the wider community. Introducing young people to peaceful and creative ways of dealing with conflict among their peers and in their own lives is essential if we are to build greater understanding and cooperation in schools and communities.
We aim to:
- support all those involved in providing training for peer mediation & conflict resolution in schools and communities
- promote and support conflict resolution and mediation among organisations & individuals working with children & young people
- help people, organisations and policy makers understand the benefits of peer mediation and conflict resolution in schools
- influence the policies that affect peer mediation and conflict resolution in schools, through advice, encouragement and education and through collating research
