Think Local Act Personal

A way of solving disputes or disagreements without going to court. It involves meeting with the person you have a disagreement with, alongside a mediator who is a trained, independent person. The aim is to find something you can agree on. Mediation can take place between family members, or between an individual or family and a care professional.
