Peer Mediation in the UK

Peer Mediation in the UK: A guide for Schools

This guide is part of the UK’s contribution to a two-year European project 1 on mediation in schools funded by the Daphne-EU programme to combat violence against children, young people and women.

The purpose of the guide, supported by the UK pages of the website (see the link on the right hand side), is to give those who work in and with schools a sense of what peer mediation is, what it sets out to achieve, and the issues that need to be considered if it is to be introduced into a school. It looks primarily at literature produced in and for the UK because it is likely to be the most relevant as a starting point for those working in the UK.

The author, William Baginsky, is head of child protection learning resources at the NSPCC. He was formerly a freelance editor and researcher and for many years a teacher in secondary schools.
