Mediation Awareness Roadshow

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Scottish Mediation Network on the launch of its mediation awareness roadshow and acknowledges the huge contribution mediation can make in problem solving in a wide range of public arenas, such as the health service, the planning system and neighbour and community disputes, and in family conflict, workplace differences, business and commercial disagreements, disputes about additional support needs and conflicts in schools; appreciates that mediation should always be considered before using the last resort of litigation and calls for independent, impartial and external mediation to be available for everyone working in the Parliament as a model for other workplaces, and calls on the Scottish Executive to recognise the contribution that mediation can make to civic society in every way possible.
