| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2014 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 3 |
| Administered by: | School of Law Office (pre 2015) |
This subject acknowledges that many conflicts may not be resolved at all, completely, or quickly. Students gain a greater understanding of the role of a conflict professional in supporting clients in long-term management of conflict, beyond any potential resolution. Students learn about characteristics that make conflicts enduring and are introduced to constructive approaches to managing ongoing conflict. The subject delivers a range of strategies and techniques to assist clients in engaging effectively in ongoing conflict, including: handling conflict avoidance; using and responding to power wisely; appropriate conflict communication and developing support systems for conflicting parties.
Learning Outcomes
- evaluate complex conflict and related theories and standards for professional practice in conflict management and resolution;
- critically analyse complex conflicts and conflict management systems;
- provide specialised advice to assist individuals, groups and organisations to constructively manage conflict;
- effectively communicate with, facilitate and support people in personal, group, organisational and cross-cultural conflict;
- independently and critically reflect on and assess their own capabilities and performance, and make use of feedback as appropriate, to support personal and professional development and research.
