A visual guide for Pre Mediation effectiveness
In this presentation from the Mediation Institute AMDRAS Certificate of Training course, you will learn about the crucial steps involved in the pre-mediation process. ...
This overview includes the mediator's opening statements, issue identification, risk screening, and process preparation. Detailed explanations cover assessing mediation appropriateness, preparing clients for negotiations, and defining the mediator and participant roles. You'll also understand the importance of voluntary participation, confidentiality, and setting ground rules. The session ends with summarising progress and outlining the next steps.
Note: This is not an example of the process used by Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners in the Family Law Context where there is a more extensive screening for family violence and more information about participants' obligations under Family Law, for example, Best Interests of the Child and Duty of Disclosure.
In other contexts, this is ideal for aspiring mediators, HR professionals, or anyone facilitating conflict resolutions.
