Mediation
Mediation is when an impartial person, trained in dealing with difficult discussions between two opposing sides, acts like a referee in a dispute. There can be a fee for mediation but it is cheaper than hiring a solicitor and taking legal aid.
Warwickshire Children and Families are able to offer mediation support in certain circumstances.
