Complaints Mediation offers a role, a structure and a process that can prevent, de-escalate and resolve disputes and conflicts with patients and customers.

• A model of mediation that focuses strongly on preserving and rebuilding working relationships
• A set of skills, strategies and positive behaviours to deal with difficult conflict behaviours
• A structured, sequential, step by step process
• The techniques to engage conflicting parties, facilitate people’s co-operation, and support them in taking responsibility for their own problems and ultimately their own solutions

Accredited with the Open College Network.

We have retrained delegates who have been previously trained by several of the UK's leading specialist workplace mediation providers.
