What is FacilitatIve mediation?

• Ashridge Mediation uses the facilitative mediation model, an alternative dispute resolution method enabling parties in dispute or conflict to have a conversation around the issues that are important to them guided by an impartial, neutral mediator who does not tell the parties what they should do. 

• Facilitative mediation provides a forum to ensure that each person is heard, that their needs are understood by the other party and to help them come up with their own agreements/solutions and terms of their settlement which is empowering.

• It is confidential and information disclosed during the process may not be used as evidence in any judicial proceeding.

• It can be applied to any dispute and costs considerably less than litigation.

• Facilitative mediation is effective; mediation settles over 80% of disputes.
