What is Mediation?

The principle is that a neutral Mediator  assists the parties to resolve their dispute by mutual agreement..

• It is a completely voluntary process
• It is entirely confidential and without prejudice to your rights.
• Each participant enters the process in good faith and is open to reaching a settlement.

. 

What is the process?

Mediation is a flexible process which can be designed to suit you and your particular dispute.

• The parties agree on the choice of a mediator who will design the mediation to suit them.

• The mediator will meet and/or contact the parties prior to the mediation session.
• The mediation is held in an agreed neutral venue at an agreed date. Each participant will put forward their points in a non adversarial setting.  The mediator will assist the party to identify and prioritise their needs until an agreed solution is found.​
