Today, the spotlight is on the award for Mediation Champion of the Year

This award is for people who have raised the profile of mediation in some way.  We all know that conflict and disputes costs people time, money and relationships and by broadening the reach of mediation into organisations, businesses and communities, we can resolve conflicts and disputes more swiftly and effectively. Tell us how you use mediation in your day to day work?  How have you made mediation a more accessible and acceptable form of conflict resolution?   Perhaps you have taken an innovative approach to supporting your fellow mediators or those in training.  Help us to reward those who are moving mediation into the mainstream and make a nomination today.
