Embracing Children in Mediation

The effects of separation can be profound on children. At Mutual Mediation, our services are tailored to manage such impacts with utmost sensitivity. Understanding that family separation can significantly impact young lives, we provide child inclusive mediation services that bring children's voices to the forefront. We believe by recognising and valuing their feelings and preferences, we can foster a supportive environment that prioritises their wellbeing.


Our approach involves using age appropriate methods that allow children to express themselves freely and safely. During mediation, a child consultant may be present to relay the child's views to the parents, This process not only respects the child's voice but can also contribute to a more flexible parenting plan with the child's best interest at heart. We ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the child's contributions are upheld.
