  1. TRAINING FOR ADR John Stirling Visiting Fellow Universities of Bradford and Northumbria

  2. PROJECT TRAINING AIMS • To develop a package of materials for use with a wide range of participants on the use of ADR • To raise awareness of the value of ADR as a cost effective approach to dispute resolution • To develop an understanding of the role ADR can play in dispute resolution • To identify and develop the key skills associated with ADR

  3. A DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH • Why do disputes occur and how can we resolve them? • How do we deal with disputes in our existing procedures – what are the strengths and weaknesses? • What is ADR? • How can ADR support what we have and help develop new strategies?

  4. WHAT IS ADR? • Compulsory (judicial) or voluntary • Good for ‘relational’, complex, disputes rather than disputes of ‘rights’ • Making an ‘evaluation’ rather than ‘judging the facts’ • Independent third party • Problem solving approach • Informal rather than formal

  5. THREE CHOICES? • Conciliation – bringing the parties together and supporting them in their own outcomes • Mediation – bringing the parties together and helping them with suggestions to move forward • Arbitration – a third party makes a decision after hearing the evidence

  6. TRAINING OUTCOMES • Awareness raising and challenging of expectations • An understanding of ADR and its appropriateness • Evaluation of ADR in relation to other options • Identifying the skills of a mediator • Development of a strategy for using ADR
