When Scottish Mediation conceived the idea of having a Year of Mediation, I think it would be fair to say that Covid-19 was not something we had considered. Last week I was speaking at a meeting held to celebrate the Year and reflected that it hadn’t gone as we had expected and that 2020 was never likely to be remembered for mediation. In some ways, however 2020 has seen some considerable, developments in mediation and whilst our Year has maybe not been the catalyst, I am delighted that they have happened.
