An insight into one approach to peer mediation, as expert Gwynne Wilson Brown explores a scheme at Kingswood Primary School in South London. Gwynne meets up with Learning Mentor, Sarah Harris, and they look at a video they filmed when they were first setting the scheme up, discussing the selection process. Gwynne then observes a top-up training session, where pupils hone their skills for listening, empathy and trust. At lunch time, mediators put their skills to the test and resolve a dispute between two young children and after lunch mediators from a local secondary school run a workshop for the Year 6s. Mediation, it is believed, can help children with their secondary transfer.
