Mediation
We ask that anyone who has fallen out with a neighbour to show willing to be part of the solution, so we can offer free, independent mediation in these circumstances.
Mediation is a way of sorting any differences, with the help of a third person who won't take sides. This person is called a mediator, they can help you:
- Reach an understanding, common ground and help improve relationships
- Work out the best way forward for all involved
- Listen to all points of view - they won’t take sides, or point fingers
- They'll help to create a calm atmosphere where you can reach an agreement, you’re all happy with and suggest practical steps to help you agree on things
- You don’t need to be face to face, the mediator acts as the go between and helps take any fear or concerns you may have away
- Everything you say in mediation is confidential
- If you feel that you could benefit from the service, please let us know by getting in contact and our ASB team can look into this with you
- You can find out more about mediation by checking out NFS Mediation
