Community Mediation
It is common for conflict to arise in the community between people due to issues such as misunderstandings and breakdowns in communication, noise nuisance, anti-social behavior, parking or boundary disputes. Disputes can range from small scale disagreements to those which are serious which impact heavily on all involved. This can include engagement of the police, housing officers, social workers and other public agencies.

Typically, agreements can be made at an early stage and may only require one or two sessions.
