It involves a neutral third party – a mediator – who helps the disputing parties reach an agreement that prioritizes the best interests of the child. Rhino Mediation in Dudley offers professional child mediation services aimed at resolving conflicts amicably and constructively.

The Mediation Process at Rhino Mediation

The mediation process at Rhino Mediation is designed to be thorough, transparent, and conducive to reaching consensus. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:

Initial Consultation

This is a meeting between the mediator and the parents to discuss the nature of the dispute and the potential for resolution through mediation.

Individual Sessions

The mediator meets with each parent separately to understand their concerns, expectations, and desired outcomes.

Joint Sessions

The parents come together with the mediator to discuss their differences and explore possible solutions.

Once a consensus is reached, the mediator drafts an agreement reflecting the terms of the resolution.
