Your confidential telephone mediation appointment has been booked for the above date and time slot. If you need to cancel your appointment please let us know, this lets us offer your time slot to someone else.
You will be called within this time slot and your appointment will last for a maximum of one hour.
Reply to this email confirming:

• Your claim number
• Your full name
• Email address
• Telephone number for the mediator to call you on – Please note this MUST be either a UK mobile or UK Landline (no International numbers) – If you cannot provide a UK number we will be unable to carry out the appointment.

Important mediation requirements

Please read the following statements - mediation is only available if you can answer yes to all 3:

1. I am willing to negotiate on the amount of the claim and I will consider a compromise.
2. I have enough information about the claim to enter into negotiations and do not require any further evidence from the other party before starting mediation.
3. I’m available for the entire time slot on the date of my appointment.

If you cannot answer yes to all 3 statements, mediation is NOT suitable for your case and you should contact us: scmreferrals@justice.gov.uk Preparing for your mediation appointment

This short guide helps you prepare for mediation and explains what happens during your appointment. It’s important that you read this prior to your appointment.

1. You must participate in mediation in good faith, with the intention of reaching an agreement. You must be prepared to listen to points raised by the other party, be willing to compromise and have the authority to agree a decision during mediation.
2. The mediator speaks to each party separately, this is not a conference call.
3. The mediator will cancel the appointment if you do not answer the phone or respond to messages within 10 minutes.
4. The mediator will call from a withheld number. Please ensure withheld numbers are not blocked on your phone.
5. You cannot be driving a vehicle during your appointment. The mediator will end the call if you are driving.
6. The mediator is neutral and will not have seen the evidence or details of the case before the call.
7. If you want someone else to represent you at mediation (like a trusted friend, relative or a solicitor) you must contact the mediation teamto authorise their involvement. Your representative must know the facts of the case, understand how far you’re willing to compromise and have full authority to act on your behalf. You’re legally bound to any settlement agreements your representative makes on your behalf.

What happens in your mediation appointment

1. Introduction from the mediator

The mediator will introduce themselves and check that you have read and understood the mediation process. 2. Explaining your position

You will need to explain your claim or defence in concise terms to the mediator. Prepare a brief summary of your opening position - only the key points are necessary. 3. Negotiating options

You’re attending mediation with a view to settling your case - this means negotiating to overcome disputed issues. The mediator is neutral and helps each party to explore options and discuss risks. Mediation works when you’re willing to listen to what the other party has to say, negotiate and agree a settlement. 4. Building agreement

Settlement can be in many different forms, for example, payment, goods or work. Both parties must agree on the outcome and feel they have reached an acceptable resolution. 5. Reaching a settlement

The mediator will read the terms of the settlement and confirm agreement with each party. Once agreed, the settlement is legally binding and cannot be changed. A copy of the mediation settlement is made available to both parties and placed on the court file. Confidentiality

All mediation appointments are confidential involving the parties or their representatives and the mediator. Any resulting settlement includes a standard confidentiality clause. Ending the mediation process

The mediator can end the mediation if, at any time:

• either party breaches the terms on which they agreed to mediation
• there is no prospect that the mediation will end in settlement
• either party asks to end mediation
