Community Mediation
What is Community Mediation?
Community Mediation is a process that helps members of the community resolve their conflicts in an informal manner.
What help can Mediation offer?
Mediation offers a free, confidential, independent and voluntary process inline with the below principles.
- Mediators are neutral
- The mediation process gives both parties the opportunity to be fully heard and to hear what the other side of the story is.
- Mediators do not pass judgement or impose solutions
- The dispute is not aired in public – mediation is a private process
- Rather than dwelling on past events, mediation aims to focus on what is going to happen and how people will behave towards one another in he future.
- Because mediation is informal it can be a quick and comparatively cheap method of resolving disputes.
