Date: 25th October 2024

The conference will examine 'Mediation in a Changing World', and will explore innovative approaches and strategies for effective conflict resolution in our evolving global landscape.  The conference allows practitioners to examine mediation but also the broader reach of finding solutions to conflict across various sectors.

Gemma Lindfield will be on the first panel, looking at 'The role of emotional intelligence in modern mediation practice'. The panel will be exploring how emotional intelligence plays a role in conflict resolution with a focus on mediation. With this lens in mind, Gemma will also discuss how changes to the rules on mediation and non-court dispute resolution as a pre-cursor to an application in the Family Court works in practice and how to best approach as a practitioner, in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.
