    • the date and time of your MIAM

    • a secure video link (for online MIAMs)

    • information about what will happen during the meeting

    • details of the fee and payment process

  • Description text goes here

  • At the end of the MIAM, we will discuss what happens next.

    This may include:

    • proceeding to joint mediation sessions (if suitable)

    • inviting the other person to attend their own MIAM

    • providing a MIAM certificate for a court application (where appropriate)

    • signposting to alternative options if mediation is not suitable

    Everything will be explained clearly so you can decide how to proceed.

  • You do not need to prepare documents or paperwork in advance.

    You simply need:

    • a private space to attend the meeting

    • a reliable internet connection (for online MIAMs)

    • any questions you would like to ask

  • MIAMs are charged at a fixed, transparent rate.
    The fee will be clearly shown during booking, with no hidden costs.

    If you are eligible for the mediation voucher scheme or other support, this can be discussed during your MIAM.
