Mediation Northern Ireland

The Policing & Justice work contains 5 independent projects which are to assist the evolution of policing and justice as a shared endeavour between police officers, the legal sector and citizens in order that mediation and mediative approaches will be further embedded in delivery within policing and justice.

District Policing Partnership

This project builds on the learning from the previous DPP problem-solving pilot project and will enhance the delivery of statutory DPP functions.

Youth Conference Service

Within this project MNI develops the effective delivery of the “Making It Right” curriculum for young offenders and will continue its support to the Youth Justice Agency’s restorative practice.

Police Ombudsman

This project will assist OPONI’s delivery of, and implementation of learning from, its pilot mediation service.

Critical Incident Training

This project's aim is to continue providing insight from a community perspective for police officers training in handling critical incidents.

Legal Mediation

This project will deliver Continued Professional Development (CPD) training opportunities for mediators in the legal sector. It will also create and facilitate a Mediation Working Group to consider strategic development of mediation in the sector.
