Community Mediation is a Win-Win Situation.
We are all different, but we are all the same. Communities are made of people/individuals having some characteristics in common but not everything. The introduction of every individual starts with “I am…….”. That is the point where the differences arise because every person has their own interpretation of events and their model of the world based on his/her own experience, observation or perception of the situation. These interpersonal differences most of the time, if not always, divide families, friends, communities and nations.
Community Mediation can be an excellent opportunity to resolving these differences and bridging the communities and their members. The Community Mediators can play a vital role in a wide range of disputes and differences, including:
- Differences within a family.
- Neighbours’ disputes.
- Problems and conflicts between different groups.
- Community issues.
Community Mediation is a voluntary, confidential, and flexible way of resolving disputes without going to court and spending a lot of money & time. Community Mediators follow a set procedure of communication and assist the disputing parties to reach a settlement that is acceptable to all parties; mediation is a Win-Win situation.
We Can Help!
The community will not feel united. There will be no way for people to solve their differences in a peaceful manner. The education and development of children might suffer because they would be surrounded by negativity and conflict in everyday life, which would create an unstable environment.
Courts are likely to regard the discussions as privileged. What you say during mediation cannot later be used in Court as evidence. We will ask each of you to agree that all discussions during mediation take place only to attempt to reach a settlement and are on the basis that they are confidential and will not be referred to in evidence in any court proceedings or affidavit about the same issue.
Facts disclosed during mediation are regarded as open; this includes the information provided when mediating about finances. This information will need to be verified with supporting documents during mediation. While it remains confidential, the information may be used subsequently in court. This means that if an agreement is not reached in mediation, you can still use it as the basis for further discussions.
