OUR ROLE AS MEDIATORS Sample Clauses

OUR ROLE AS MEDIATORS. As mediators we act in an impartial way. We therefore seek to help each of the participants equally. Our role is to assist you each to explore possible ways of resolving disputes or making arrangements on any range of matters related to your separation or future separate living or in any matters relating to family issues. We may only provide legal and/or financial or other information in a neutral way in order to help you understand the options available to you. We may not, do not and cannot provide any advice (of any nature) on a ‘best interests’ or personalised basis. The choices and decisions remain yours to make. It is possible and often very helpful for you to have advice from your own solicitor or legal adviser during the mediation process in order to make informed decisions. You may also wish to liaise with your advisers as mediation progresses in order to enable them to remain informed as to progress. We will as appropriate offer evaluation during or following mediation to inform you as to whether or not any specific way forwards identified in mediation is likely to receive the endorsement of a Court. You may ask us to offer evaluation at any stage of mediation, although there are some circumstances where our Code of Practice requires us to do so. We do not otherwise express opinions or make judgments about your individual or joint situation. We cannot act as mediators if either of us have prior knowledge of the situation through any previous involvement as lawyer, counsellor or in any other professional role. Although we may have other qualifications, in this context we act only as mediators. We shall do our best to help each of you. We ask you to show your integrity and commitment to the mediation process and to co-operate as fully as possible in looking for workable solutions.
