Core principles of mediation
Voluntary – this means you can choose if you want to mediate and can decide to stop at
any time, the mediator can also decide to mediate or stop owing to conflicts of interest or a belief
that they or mediation is not appropriate for your case.
Impartial – Mediators are there to facilitate the clients in exploring and
discussing the issues to find a resolution that supports moving forward, their personal views are
not relevant to your case. You the clients make the decisions.
Legal advice is not given – The Mediator will provide you with relevant legal
information to support you in understanding the legal process and making decisions that will meet
legal requirements. The mediator will suggest their clients seek further advice from their solicitor or
other professionals on child and financial matters.
Confidential – discussions and outcomes in mediation are confidential within the
sessions they cannot be used in court there are exceptions to this: any information relating to
child protection issues or significant harm to another adult, or proceeds of crime or any illegal
activity, the mediator is bound to pass on to the relevant authority.
