Simplifying Mediation Across Leeds and Yorkshire
Collaborative Mediation to Avoid Lengthy Court Battles in Leeds
We’re on a mission to be more than just a service where family members, people and organisations discuss their issues. We want to work collaboratively with all agencies to support each individual person and/or organisations needs.
We have signposting links with family contact centres, lawyers, children in mediation mediators, business support networks, and funded providers of all types to support. All mediation, whether family, individual, commercial or workplace is about signposting and helping every person within the conflict.
Unlike regular mediation services, we aim to support families from the moment relationships breakdown, way before court is suggested. We also aim to enable anyone and organisations and businesses and to spread the word that there is no need to head straight to court!
Imagine…
No more costly and emotionally draining court battles that lengthen the time children don’t see their family members or relationships and business and working relationships to suffer and cost everyone too much money and time to resolve.
