What is the role of the Mediator?

The Mediator is an independent third party who facilitates a discussion, between the people experiencing conflict, in a way that enables them to find their own solutions to the problem.
Mediation is confidential and the mediator will not tell the participants what to do, but will instead support them to consider solutions, and reach a decision that feels fair to everyone involved. |
