Working with disabled children, young people and their families

Mediation

 

Mediation Services provide mediation meetings for parents of children with special educational needs and their Local Education authority when there is some kind of disagreement surrounding how best to meet those needs.

Mediation is an informal, voluntary process where parties in disagreement meet in the presence of an independent mediator. The mediator is neutral and impartial and does not put forward suggestions or solutions to the disagreement.

It is the parties themselves who decide on the outcome of the mediation through willingly participating in the mediation process. Over 80% of mediations with our service result in some kind of agreement.
