Great to see clear evidence of what we witness in our projects every day: #PeerMediation boosts children’s confidence, empathy & emotional awareness, helps create calmer classrooms while saving teachers’ time. WMS was lucky to be part of this research and delighted to share it.
A new CMC report on peer mediation shows that 96% of schools would recommend #peermediation, and 89% of young #mediators say they better understand others’ feelings. Read the report and see how peer #mediation is creating calmer, more supportive #schools: https://t.co/6OySKzgFX0

After a recent incident at a South London school, WMS was invited to deliver interactive, drama-based #ConflictResolution assemblies to 145 Year 8s. Students left with tools to stay calm and express themselves clearly. Big thanks to @wandbc for commissioning this important work.
Grateful to @LinklatersLLP for renewing funding for our #Reflect intervention in secondary schools. This means we can keep helping young people at risk of exclusion build confidence, awareness and stronger relationships. See how #Reflect is changing lives:
