Training and Development
Over the last ten years, we have worked to promote the study and development of ADRs such as Civil Mediation. We lead training with the European Training Team in training the Western Circuit Bar of England and Wales, and have directed Accredited Mediation Training for the Faculty of Advocates in Scotland. Nearer to home, we directed and lead the Bar Council of Ireland's Accredited Mediation Training programmes 2004 - 2005, We delivered a range of Guest Lectures and Mediation Training Courses notably to the The Post Graduate Diploma in Conflict and Dispute Resolution Studies (CDRS) at ISE-Trinity College, The Law Society School of Education, the M.Phil in International Peace Studies in ISE - Trinity College, the Church of Ireland's Mediation Scheme and at a range of Continuing Professional Development Courses, and in association with CPD Seminars.
At the invitation of CPD Seminars, we have lead training in a Foundation Course in Mediation - an Introduction to Mediation and an Advanced - Accredited Mediation Course to a wide range of business people, senior managers, and people from the Accountancy and Legal professions as part of their continuing professional development .

A wide range of people interested in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) who have sought to further their knowledge and skills in this area have been included on the MFI panel. We have a rich resource of people versed in the principles and practice of Civil Mediation.
In addition to directing training and workshops in the practice of Civil Mediation, we have been engaged to devise Mediation and redress Schemes and implement them providing the necessary training, guidance on practice standards. In addition to advice and consultancy in relation to training, the audit of complaint handling processes, review, design and implementation of Mediation and Arbitration schemes, the MFI Forum includes a network of qualified and accredited ADR practitioners and Mediators who are available for nomination by MFI on request.
From the people on our network, there are those whose skills range from Commercial Mediation, to Community type Mediation, Restorative Justice processes, Human Resource conflict management systems, Workplace Facilitation and Expert Determination.
Mediation Forum - Ireland's panel reflects the diversity of the public which it sets out to work with. The Forum also aims to provide a channel for the exchange of information and dialogue and inform the on going debate as to how best to progress the use and effectiveness of ADRs and Mediation in particular.
