Mediation


The KIDS London SEN Mediation Service provides mediation meetings for parents of children with Special Educational Needs and their local education authority or the child’s school 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 together with an independent mediator. The mediator is neutral and impartial and does not put forward suggestions or solutions to the disagreement. The mediator is there to help facilitate discussions and to make sure everyone is treated fairly. The aim of mediation is to reach an agreement which is right for both parties.

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.

The KIDS London SEN Mediation Service provides mediation meetings for parents, local authorities and schools in the majority of London boroughs as well as Luton, Bedford and Hertfordshire.
