Sort It Out
A member of our Advice Team will assign your case to one of our specialist mediators and respond to all requests within three working days.
How It Works
First complete our Sort It Out Support Request Form. Your case will then be assigned to a student mediator who will be in touch to organise an initial 1:1 consultation with you.
They will then discuss the issues with you, how conflict resolution can help and what the next steps will be, including the process of involving the other party and arranging a group meeting.
Visit the Sort it Out website for more information.

- Conflict has arisen which you have tried to resolve but now feel that you do not have the ability to work things out on your own
