Provided by Children In Scotland
Sometimes, despite the best efforts of all people involved, disagreements over what support a child or young person should get can cause conflict. Mediation can bring together parents/carers with education teams to try and resolve these disputes.
Mediation will help you work together with the very people who you may think have been giving you a hard time. During mediation you will learn to understand these people better, and to communicate with them. Successful mediation will restore the relationships and allow all to be effective partners to support the child or young person.
