An independent service - Enabling people to make workable solutions in difficult situations. What is Mediation? Mediation is a way of resolving conflicts or disputes in which the people involved seek to find their own mutually agreed solutions to resolve the problem in a fair way with the help of the impartial mediators. When can mediation help? Any dispute, conflict, disagreement or difficult situation between two or more people can potentially be mediated. Some of the common causes of disputes that we have dealt with include noise, children’s behaviour, boundaries, communication breakdown, animals, upkeep of property / gardens and misunderstandings. What are the benefits of mediation? Mediation focuses on improving understanding and facilitating communication between people in conflict. It can help those involved gain a better appreciation of the issues, resulting in improved relationships between them. Mediation is a constructive and common sense approach which produces practical, workable and realistic solutions. Mediation is provided free to the general public and is a much quicker and a less stressful process than other options. It is less risky as parties only settle when they are satisfied with the agreement. This is unlike going to court where they take the risk of having the judge decide against them and losing their case.
