Description and Bios: Richard Stevens and Howard Le Cornu, founders of The Resolution Centre, will reflect on five years of peace-building efforts among Jersey’s young people. They will share the insights, successes, and lasting impact of implementing their CMC-approved Peer Mediation Programme across 17 schools, training 1,700 students (and counting) to engage positively with conflict. In addition to their firsthand experience, they will present the latest research from the Civil Mediation Council UK (CMC UK) and insights from a secondary school Head Teacher.

Howard Le Cornu and Richard Stevens are the founders of The Resolution Centre, a mediation and leadership practice based in Jersey, Channel Islands UK. Both have long experience in naval command and leadership, and bring that calm, disciplined steadiness into their work with people and systems. They specialise in complex, multi-party and cross-sector mediation, working in education, hospitals and healthcare, financial services, maritime, government and family businesses. 

Their Academy supports a simple but demanding belief, that resolution is the defining quality of leadership. The academy develops leadership maturity from the classroom to the boardroom. It integrates mediation, coaching and restorative practice into a practical architecture built on autonomy, belonging, contribution and coherence.

The purpose is to help people feel better, think better, act better and ultimately be better. Leaders learn to walk towards challenge with confidence, build trust and create conditions that show a visible presence in daily behaviour, with those they lead.

Their work ranges from discovery sessions and structured dialogue to full organisational repair and high performance. They help teams recover clarity, confidence and cohesion when relationships and performance have slipped, and support leaders and staff to bring their working culture back into harmony in a way that lasts.

In just shy of five years, Richard and Howard have built Jersey’s Peer Mediation programme, a ‘life-changing’ investment in the emotional education of young people, building peace, mediation skills and conflict resolution from the age of 11. Deliberately priced to be accessable to the Island’s relatively large network of free primary schools without compromising on the quality of teaching, the CMC approved programme has now been adopted in 17 schools and trained 1700 students.
