Mediation is a completely voluntary and confidential way to resolve conflict and disputes. It involves a professionally trained and accredited mediator, an independent and impartial person, who helps the parties reach a solution that is acceptable to everyone.

Mediation is quite different to the legal process. The focus in mediation is finding a way forward rather than determining who was right and wrong.

A key goal of mediation is to improve the communication and this makes it the ideal approach for participants who might normally avoid conflict or those who want their opinions or grievances to be heard and it is particularly appropriate when it is important to preserve good will, working relationships and reputation.

Conflict can be stressful and costly for all involved. Mediation helps people agree a way forward and move on.
