Meeting
Speakers for the September meeting were Anne Manger, a member of the group and her colleague Jane Hotham who gave a very interesting talk on Family Mediation. With 16 years experience between them they provided an insight into the process of mediation where they help couples through a confidential exchange of views. The mediator helps the clients to develop a range of options and ideas that help them to reach agreement.
There are mediation services across the country and each mediator undertakes training over a 3 month period initially, although this training is ongoing throughout their working lives. They achieve an NVQ style qualification by submitting a detailed portfolio for accreditation.
