Mediation Service

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where people involved in a conflict are helped by a neutral third party (the mediator) to resolve their problems collaboratively. The mediator never takes sides or imposes solutions, but rather helps the participants reach a solution that they are happy with - this is then drawn up into a written agreement. Mediation improves communication, builds on common ground and is a proven, cost-effective way to resolve conflicts.
