Author: Geoff Berry Associates Title: Evaluation of WMTTS Mediation Project in Birmingham Summary: The West Midlands Mediation and Transformation Service (WMMTS) was established in late 2004 and emerged from dialogue between police and community regarding the escalation of gun related violence. The scheme is now an integral part of an overall strategy designed to address gang violence across Birmingham. The aims of the scheme seek to both facilitate a cessation of gang related shootings and provide a pathway for those who wish to exit the gun and gang culture to do so. Operating with a team of six mediators, all trained and accredited, the scheme has three broad strands, namely; Proactive intervention: to facilitate negotiation between factions; Post-event intervention: To mediate and prevent retaliation and escalation; and, Facilitate delivery of support: to encourage those who wish to exit the gun and gang culture to do so. A critical identified weakness of the West Midlands Mediation and Transformation Services mediation project is the lack of any formal evaluation of the project or any processes for monitoring progress on an ongoing basis. This places the project at a particular disadvantage when trying to provide evidence of its impact and in discussions with prospective funders. This report outlines the findings from a comprehensive evaluation of the project and builds on the initial “quick and dirty” review carried out late in 2005. Formal monitoring processes have now been established for the project which will enable progress to be checked on a rolling basis. It will also inform future evaluations.
