"Brexit (has) highlighted deep rooted divisions in our society, A complex set of polarities have developed and fissures have emerged which took many by surprise and which others sought to take advantage of. Young or old, rich or poor, black or white, north or south. This is a new level of division and a few upbeat economic reports post Brexit aren't going to resolve them. We need to bring people together to promote constructive dialogue, to secure lasting solutions."

David Liddle CEO of The TCM Group, President of PMA

The PMA are excited to be planning National Mediation Awards 2017 and our theme this year is "The power of dialogue in an uncertain world". As the UK officially leaves the European Union we want to promote how the power of dialogue during Brexit has the potential to create the best possible outcome. Mediation more than ever can play a vital role in how events play out and again we want to celebrate Mediation and those individuals that can manage such processes.
