Public affairs
Lewis was interviewed by the BBC to talk about the role mediation could play in the 2009 Royal Mail dispute.[4] In the same year, the Algerian government invited him to give a speech titled "Mediation – The British Perspective",[5] at a conference attended by about 400 members of the Algerian judiciary. He gave similar talks in Jordan and the European Parliament. He was an adviser on the Gibbons Review[6] into UK workplace practices.
He attended a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Alternative Dispute Resolution[7] and was honorary secretary for the Civil Mediation Council[8] until 2015. His research on mediation and organisation diagnosis in the National Health Service was shortlisted for an award by the Association for Business Psychology in 2017.[9]
