- Everyone should be given the best opportunity possible to explore whether they can resolve their family or civil disputes co-operatively
- We have the responsibility to provide a service that is robust, professional and creative enough to provide that opportunity
- When this happens, it is likely to be cheaper and quicker, to preserve family or business relationships, and also to benefit innocent third parties such as children
- Mediators must be able to provide a variety of services to meet ever more complex and entrenched family and commercial legal disputes
- Mediation often works best in partnership with lawyers and other legal services, especially in difficult cases
- “Alternative” Dispute Resolution must be at least as well resourced as other forms of dispute resolution, and backed by a team of advisors and management
- Mediation is a creative process, nurtured not only by legal knowledge and expertise but also by its wider relationships with the creative arts and commitment to co-operation and collaboration in all walks of life
- Family and Civil Mediation are parts of a growing worldwide movement to resolve conflicts non-adversarially
