Our Mediators
With the services of a professional trainer from LADR, a provider registered under the College of Mediators, we upskilled our first cohort of mediators in November 2019 and over a period of several follow-up training sessions.
We also trained a new cohort of mediators over three weekends in February 2020 using the same professional service provider. We broadened the remit of mediators who are therefore able to support our community members experiencing marital, family, community, and business disputes. We now have a pool of over 15 mediators across our communities who hope to work alongside Jamaats to provide an accessible and confidential service.
We spent an additional two weekends on 3 May and 27 June training mediators through case studies, practice sessions, and various other tools to facilitate virtual mediations so that mediations could take place online.
Currently, we have a pool of 18 professional mediators with accredited training.
