The Mediation Centre
We offer both private and publicly funded (Legal Aid) mediation across the
West Midlands. Mediation is offered at our main office in Stafford and our
outposts in Hanley, Burslem, Cannock, Burton and Crewe, but we can also
arrange appointments across the wider region and nationally where required.
Our services are built on strong foundations - our three core values of humanity,
innovation and excellence, and our three core and integrated services of
information giving, mediation and professional development, all of which support
and feed each other.
Our belief is that everyone should have an equal opportunity to resolve their family
and other relationship disputes, for their own benefit and particularly the benefit
of any children, and regardless of the level of finance involved, or the level of
complexity and difficulty. Our services and access points seek to remove as many
obstacles to co-operation as possible, so that, in those rare cases where a Court
decision is required, you can be assured that everything else has been tried first.
We don't just provide Family mediation, but a range of mediation services tailored
to particular disputes, from inheritance to cohabitation issues, from workplace to
commercial disputes, and from entering new relationships to building new
relationships as separated parents.
We believe that mediation has a bright future, and provides better futures for those
entering or leaving relationships. We want to work with our family law and
mediation colleagues to build the market and opportunity for mediation and conflict
resolution, and to be more ambitious about the standard and breadth of service
we provide.
