This session will focus on how you can support mentees dealing with
conflict, both through mentoring, and when mentees may benefit from
alternative support available for addressing conflict through the
University Mediation Service.

Martin Pelan will share his experience as both a mentor and a University
Mediator. Martin will share how mediation skills can be used to enhance
mentoring practice, and how mentors can support mentees to address
conflict positively and constructively.

Jo Sheen, Lead for the University of Leeds Mediation Scheme, will share
how mediation works, who it might benefit, and how people can access it.

The session will close with a Q&A with the speakers.
