At present, the mediation service is currently scaled back, and as such, the process may take longer than the given deadlines and lead to a delay in response times.

Who are the mediators?
The University of York has a team of mediators who come from a mixed group of staff, from a wide range of departments and grades across the University.
All of our mediators are professionally trained by CMP Resolutions. Their qualification is accredited by the Institute for Leadership and Management, and they carry out regular continuing professional development. We are a member of the HE/FE Forum for mediation which shares best practice across a number of UK universities.
"I was really impressed by the mediators... it's a very useful tool in improving staff relationships and avoiding costly (and damaging) formal disputes."
