Welcome to our website.
It is easier to get into a dispute than to get out of one. Once a person gets into a row, things can be said and done that are hard to sort out. The longer it goes on, the trickier it is to resolve. That’s where mediation can help. An impartial mediator can help the people to sort out their differences in a win-win settlement
What is Mediation?
Confidential
What is discussed in the room, stays in the room. People can feel confident that the discussions are confidential from the first phone call to
the joint meetings.
Voluntary
Mediation is voluntary so people are free to leave the process at any stage.
Impartial
The mediator remains impartial throughout the process, and is non-judgemental and non-directive.
Self-determined
The people involved make the decisions. They work it out together.
Low cost
Mediation is far less costly than using legal proceedings, as well as being quicker.
Mediation is a process whereby people who are in conflict or in a dispute can sort out their differences with the help of a trained, impartial mediator. The mediator will meet each party privately first and then will meet both parties in a neutral venue. The mediator will help the parties by asking questions and listening carefully to the parties, so that the issues are identified, which can lead to a mutually agreed settlement. Most mediations reach successful outcomes. DCM offers co-mediation, that is, the mediation is conducted by two mediators.
