Peer mediators are trained children or young people who help their classmates and peers resolve arguments and minor conflicts peacefully and fairly.

What Peer Mediators Do

• Remain neutral: They do not take sides, judge, or blame anyone in the argument.

• Listen actively: They let each person share their side of the story without interruption.

• Guide discussions: They use special communication rules to help people understand each other's feelings.

• Encourage solutions: They help both sides brainstorm ideas to find a fair fix, but they never force their own answers.

Key Rules of Peer Mediation

• Voluntary: No one is forced to take part; both sides must agree to join. 

• Confidential: What is said during the talk stays private between the people involved and the mediators (unless safety issues or bullying are reported).

• Low-level disputes only: They handle minor issues like name-calling, rumors, or falling out with friends, but pass major problems like bullying or physical harm to school staff.
