Making a Referral

You can ask your solicitor or any other service professional to refer you, or you can refer yourself. Our main office in Birmingham deals with all new referrals but we offer appointments in Birmingham, Walsall, Dudley and Solihull. Opening times can be found here.

Before starting mediation we will book you a mediation information and assessment meeting (MIAM) so that the mediator can find out more about the current situation and to discuss how mediation works and how it may help. We will also use this time to check out any safety or other concerns you may have and to complete a legal aid assessment.

You can come to this meeting either together or on your own, however once you start mediation we would expect to see you both together. Mediation information and assessment meetings generally last about 45 minutes if you come on your own and 60-90 minutes if you come together. Mediation appointments generally last 60-90 minutes.

Please be aware that there may be costs associated with using the service - check our costs page or download our factsheet.
