It is important to think about whether you feel you are able to speak freely and respectfully to one another. The success of your mediation relies on you both being engaged, honest, and respectful. If there is ongoing domestic abuse it is unlikely that mediation will be the best process for you at this time.
Our mediators will be able to address any concerns you have and they will screen for any safeguarding issues when they speak to each of you in the confidential individual meeting before the joint sessions begin.
