  • What is a peer mediator? A class of Year Five children give their views and are asked by their teacher to consider conflict and how to deal with it. They recall incidents of conflict they have experienced. A peer mediator is someone who can see both sides of an argument and help others to come to a solution themselves. Role play helps the children find solutions to conflict. Children think they can perhaps understand children's problems better than adults.
