RESTORATIVE MEDIATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOLSL: West Kent Mediation is a locally-based charity, and part of its work is training children in Peer Mediation to help them self-resolve minor playground disputes. The training involves working with Year five or six practising listening skills and body language. The children look at feelings and how they affect them, play team games and discuss ‘red flag’ areas. Focus is on listening to other’s views, being impartial and finding a ‘win-win’ solution to the conflict. Important life skills are developed in a fun and relaxed setting which have a very positive impact on the day to day running of a primary school.
