The Power of Sorry
- There is no doubting the power of sorry, according to Renee Williamson, Chairperson, NSW Reconciliation Council, Chris Wheeler, NSW Deputy Ombudsman and Bronwyn Penrith, Aboriginal Mediator, Family Dispute Resolution.
- This seminar provided practical guidance to practitioners in dealing with circumstances where an apology may be requested by one or both parties as part of a settlement. Issues explored included the lasting nature of a settlement, the timing of an apology and legal issues.
- Thanks to Renee, Chris and Bronwyn for generously sharing their experiences.
