The Community Relationship Mediation Service
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a constructive process in which an impartial third party, the Mediator, assists people to resolve disputes and reach agreements for a way forward.
- Mediation can help reduce hostility, and allow the parties to move forward positively.
- Mediation is confidential and a written agreement will be produced at the end of the meeting
- Mediation can be used in any setting where a dispute is causing people to become 'stuck' and unable to move forward
Who can access Mediation?
We specialise in working with families. If you are experiencing conflict with a family member, or an ex-partner, access our mediation leaflet here. You can also contact us for more information.
We take self referrals from those on a low income, along with referrals from other professionals e.g. community, education and social care workers. We consider children and young people in all the family relationship mediation we undertake and work with parents to ensure their views are included where appropriate.
