Our peer mediation programme has been operating in New Zealand since 1991 and has been delivered to nearly two thirds of schools nationwide.

The programme empowers students by teaching them skills and processes to resolve conflict peacefully. They learn how to use conflict scenarios as an opportunity to build positive relationships with others. Non-violent, constructive, co-operative, WIN/WIN solutions to a problem are negotiated.

Students are providing a service for other students as "peace-keepers". They are modelling skills and processes, which will last a lifetime and are readily transferable to the home, workplace, community etc.

It has been shown to have a positive impact not only on students, teachers and parents but also for the wider school community.
