What Is Mediation and How Does It Work?

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that helps to resolve conflicts and disputes between parties in a non-adversarial manner. It is a voluntary process in which a neutral third-party (mediator) facilitates communication and negotiations between the parties, helping them to explore solutions to their dispute in a safe and confidential environment. Mediation is often used for family matters, such as divorce and parenting issues, but it can also be used to resolve workplace, business, and community disputes.

At Solent Family Mediation, we recognise that each dispute is different and unique. That’s why we use a tailored approach to ensure that the mediation process meets the individual needs of each party. Our certified mediators are highly experienced and trained to provide a safe, impartial, and confidential process that enables parties to work together to achieve a mutually beneficial resolution.

Working with a Mediator

When working with a mediator, it’s important to remember that they are a neutral third-party and will not take sides. The mediator’s role is to help facilitate conversations between the parties and to ensure that all parties understand the process, their rights, and the potential outcomes of the mediation.

The mediator will also help the parties to identify the issues at hand and develop solutions that are mutually beneficial for all parties involved. They can also help the parties to identify potential obstacles that could prevent them from reaching an agreement and provide guidance on how to overcome these obstacles.

Benefits of Mediation

There are many advantages to using mediation to resolve disputes. Mediation is often less expensive and time-consuming than other forms of dispute resolution. It is also less adversarial than other forms of dispute resolution or taking your issues straight to court, allowing parties to come together in a safe and neutral environment in order to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Additionally, mediation provides an opportunity for parties to work together to explore all possible solutions to the dispute, which can be beneficial for preserving relationships and fostering better communication.

The mediation process is also highly flexible. It allows parties to set their own agenda and decide for themselves what topics need to be discussed and how the conversation should progress. This means that the parties are in control of the outcome of the mediation and can come up with creative solutions that are tailored to their individual needs.

• It is less formal than going to court
