MIAM stands for ‘Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting’.
But really it’s just a conversation. You’ll each have a separate chat and it’s a chance for you to find out about how mediation works, and what other approaches might be available to you both.
How it Works
It’s the time for us to find out about the background to your situation, so that we can assess what might work best for you in resolving the issues that you are facing.
MIAM’s can only be undertaken by mediators who are accredited with the Family Mediation Council.
Our fee for this initial chat is currently £99. Legal aid is also available for this and for the mediation process itself, and we will go through this with you in the assessment meeting. You can find out more with our MIAM factsheet
