Purpose:
|
The School Mediation Program is committed to working with schools in Prince Albert to develop a safe, caring and respectful school culture and climate in all community schools within the city. The program teaches primary school children alternative methods of resolving conflicts without violence to persons or property. The program also works with youth to help them avoid coming into contact with the formal justice system on account of their participation in schoolyard disputes. Through mediation and group conferencing, the program stresses offender accountability to victims, family and the school community.
