Attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) to explore an effective, court-approved alternative for resolving disputes. Book your MIAM today Do I Need a MIAM? Use our 1-minute 'Do I Need A MIAM?' questionnaire to find out if you need an initial mediation meeting Need an Urgent MIAM? >> What is a MIAM A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is the initial meeting you and your partner must take to start your mediation journey. These sessions are a mandatory requirement by Law (except in exceptional circumstances) before any court application can be made through the UK courts. The session must be facilitated by an accredited mediator who can (where required) sign-off a court certificate. Together with your mediator you will explore the issues, discuss the mediation process and assess whether mediation is suitable. When should I attend a MIAM Mediation is often most effective when it takes place at an early stage, before issues have snowballed. It's best to go to mediation when both you and your partner have come to terms with the separation and need help sorting out arrangements. Even if you've been separated for a while and are midway through the court process you can still opt to go down the mediation route. Before issuing a court application, you must attend a MIAM. Certain exemptions apply in extreme situations including domestic violence and child safeguarding concerns. What happens during the MIAM Your mediator will prepare and host the MIAM. In this session (which can be held in-person or over a video call) you will be provided with key information about the process and it is an opportunity for the mediator to evaluate whether your case is suitable for mediation. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions relating to the mediation pathway. In cases where there is evidence of domestic violence of safeguarding concerns relating to children, the mediator will clarify that mediation is not suitable and the case should be referred to court.

This is known as the Joint Mediation. In cases where there is a high conflict situation, clients can opt for shuttle mediation where the mediator will go between both clients during the session to avoid clients being in the same room/video call at the same time. If neither party can agree to proceed with mediation after the MIAM, or if the other party does not wish to engage in the MIAM process, or if the mediator deems mediation not to be suitable in your case, the mediator will provide you with the appropriate signed court form. This will provide evidence to the court you have attempted mediation and will allow you to proceed with a court application Read our blog on essential information about a MIAM, click here .

Our trained team at Ark Mediation create a safe space for children to express their views, ensuring their needs are heard. Discover the benefits of child-inclusive mediation Learn more about our specialised Child Mediation for Neurodiverse Family Dynamics Read More What is Child Inclusive Mediation (CIM) Child Inclusive Mediation provides children a safe forum to share their concerns and worries without feeling like they are siding with one particular parent. Separation can be particularly difficult for young children and study's have shown it can leave a lasting impact well into adulthood. It is imperative parents consider what is best for their children and this is where mediation can be highly effective. The mediator can provide valuable guidance on practical implementation of sharing parenting responsibilities in a fair way, which contributes to a more balanced and healthy outcome for the child. Child inclusive mediation is confidential and the mediator will work with your child to agree what information they feel comfortable relaying back to you as their parents, through the mediator. What does child mediation involve Children too harbour concerns about the changes taking place as a result of a separation. It is the mediators role to encourage your child to be able to share what might be bothering them. Some of the topics the mediator might discuss with your child can include: 1. Which parent will they reside with? 2. Will they stay in the same house? 3. How will they get to see both of their parents? 4. Will the separation impact their friendship groups, clubs, school activities etc.? 5. What impact will this have on their interaction with extended family members such as grandparents, cousins etc.? Once the mediator and child have discussed all relevant aspects of the separation that might impact them, the mediator will convey these concerns to the parents in a mediation session in order to explore ways to make the transition easier on the child whilst meeting the needs of each parent . Request a call back & free consultation * First name * Last name * Email Phone number * Service Required Family Mediation Message Submit Why is it beneficial to include Child Mediation in your journey Research shows that consulting children about their views during or following a time of family separation is helpful to them and their mental health. It can be beneficial for a child to talk to a mediator because: 1. A child may not tell a parent what they really think, especially if the child is aware of any conflict between the parents 2. A child may not have an opportunity to talk to both parents at the same time and may be very worried about saying things to one parent rather than giving exactly the same message to both parents at the same time. It is not uncommon for children to say one thing to one parent and something completely different to the other parent 3. In families where emotions are highly charged, children are preoccupied in keeping the peace, and may not feel that have had space or permission to dwell on what their own feelings are. Speaking to the mediator gives children in this situation a chance to think about their own views 4. It gives all children a private space, to be asked how they are and if they have any views to be taken into account. Both parents are given this opportunity when they meet the mediator on their own; children should have this opportunity too 5. A parent is deeply involved in the emotional nurturing and wellbeing for a child and is not in an impartial place to hear or provide feedback of a child’s views. Even with the best will in the world, the parent might not understand or convey the child’s feelings to the other parent or mediator in the way the child would wish 6. The things that the parents are worried about, including their worries about how the child is feeling, may make it more difficult for the child to talk freely about how they are feeling and what they think is important.
