Mediation B: Essential skills for practice and accreditation

This unit builds on the skills developed in LAW5411 and focuses on refining and assessing those skills. It will also develop and extend research work that is focused in the core competency areas. Students will refine their skills by participating in a range of conflict scenarios and will engage in additional ethical issue work. Students will also investigate further ethical and theoretical issues, relevant empirical studies in mediation ethics, inter-cultural contexts, contingent 3rd party interventions and issue of power and empowerment. Students will be provided with individual feedback on their style and overall performance by highly qualified practitioners.

This interactive workshop has been developed to assist students to meet part of the National Mediation Accreditation Standard requirements and provides an opportunity for students to be tested and assessed in accordance with the National Mediation Accreditation Standards.
