Meet the Team
“ Mediation is quicker,cheaper and produceslonger lasting solutions”
Family Mediation Team
‘Thank you so much. I am so pleased with
how well the whole mediation process has
worked out and been run by you both. I
felt really supported by you both and
would absolutely recommend it to anyone
else going through separation’.
What is mediation?
It is your opportunity to find your own solution to your
own problems by talking face-to-face with your
partner. The process is facilitated by a highly trained
and experienced mediator.
How does it work?
Mediators are impartial. They don’t take sides. They
don’t give advice. They do give information and help
you both explore options and find long lasting
solutions to your own issues.
They help you focus together as parents on the
children’s needs.
Mediation is voluntary. There are no secrets in
mediation. The process is confidential. You are
required to be honest and open regarding your
financial position and encouraged to take legal advice
through the process.
What is in it for you?
� You focus as parents on the children’s needs
� It is emotionally beneficial to try and sort things out
together
� It reduces tension and hostility
� It helps you make informed decisions at a time that
works for you
� It reduces the expense of court
� You can meet as frequently as you wish often at short
notice
� Any outcome will be your outcome
� It may be available to you free
Will I get public funding?

The service is free and there is no claw back on final
resolution. You also have access to Legal Help with

you for their advice if you are eligible for public funding.

� Plans for the children
� Plans for finances including
property/pensions/maintenance/capital/businesses
What does it cost?

If you are not eligible then £120 per hour per person
for the face-to-face time and the time spent preparing
documents. Sessions usually last 90 minutes and
there are often some three to six sessions.
“We have moved on so much since our
meetings with you, thank you both”.
