Cfor Force For Change
Our dream is ’a facilitator at every table - the kitchen-table to the negotiating table’. We aim to facilitate and provide skills, so that individually and collectively, we do not just fall into the problems we set out to solve, but rather find access to our deepest resources to resolve conflict and create our future together. We believe in the creativity within individuals, organisations and communities. We provide facilitation and training to resolve conflicts, prevent violence and support multicultural societies. We work with teams, organisations, conferences, think-tanks, community forums, and long-term projects of post-war recovery. We also provide team building and training within organisations, annual modular ‘facilitation for leaders’ programme, and publish. Why Everyone is familiar with being taken into polarised conflict. Even organisations devoted to community development and humanitarian aid are readily blocked by conflict. Yet people are innately able to dialogue and transform conflict to prevent violence. This includes awareness of our relationships and power dynamics through history, our diversity and how to move forward as multicultural societies. We facilitate people to interact and gain awareness around these topics and so shape a creative future together. We’ve seen individuals and communities transform – less easily swept up into polarised positions, or even wide scale violence. They connect to their personal and collective histories, and to something deeper than our differences, leading to needed collaborations, across groups and sectors of society CFOR’s contribution Our contribution to the field of international development, peace studies and conflict resolution, is our focus on the transformative potential of increased awareness. Our background is in working with systemic and psychological dynamics. Our methods are ‘Worldwork’, the application of Process Oriented Psychology to collective processes and conflict facilitation.

Property Redress
From 1 October 2014 it became a legal requirement for all lettings and property management agents to be members of a government authorised consumer redress scheme. It has been a legal requirement for estate agents to be a member of a government authorised consumer redress scheme since 2007. The Property Redress is a straightforward and easy to use government authorised scheme for property management, lettings, estate agents, designed with the member in mind. The main purpose of the Property Redress is to settle or resolve complaints made by consumers against members where the member’s internal complaints procedure has been exhausted. Among the many benefits of scheme membership, agents do not have to be a member of a trade organisation, or adhere to a specific code of conduct. If the agent is not a member of a trade organisation, then we will rely on standard industry practice when it comes to resolving a complaint. We can also help you, if needed, improve or create your internal complaints procedure and the process involved when dealing with a complaint.
