What is Mediation?
Mediation offers you the chance to resolve issues about children and financial arrangements without the stress and expense of going to court. It is available for couples following relationship breakdown but also for grandparents and other family members where they cannot agree on particular issues. It enables the parties to talk things through with an impartial professional and agree arrangements for the future. Our role is to help you have a constructive discussion about the issues facing your family and to help you explore the options available to enable you to reach an agreement that is fair to everyone.

How does Mediation work?
Step 1.
The first step is for each of you to attend a one to one Mediation Information Assessment Meeting with the Mediator so that you can find out more information about mediation and have an opportunity to speak to the mediator about your issues. We will assess you for legal aid and answer any mediation queries you may have. At this meeting, we will also carry out safeguarding checks to ensure that mediation is appropriate in your case. At the end of the assessment meeting, you and the mediator decide whether mediation is suitable for you and therefore whether you wish to move to the next stage of the process. The assessment meeting is confidential between you and the mediator.
Step 2.
Provided all parties are willing to engage in the mediation process, a joint face to face mediation session will be arranged. Mediation meetings usually last around ninety minutes – the number of sessions will depend upon the complexity of the issues involved. The average mediation usually takes between two to four sessions. We offer shuttle mediation, where the mediator speaks to each party separately, rather than together. This may be appropriate for anyone who doesn’t feel able to take part in joint mediation sessions, but would still like to mediate. Different models of mediation will be discussed with you at your assessment meeting.
Step 3.
Any agreement reached will be recorded and forwarded to both of you in writing.
