Equality & Diversity: Accessible Resolution for All Communities
How does Mediation Today support the diverse communities of Birmingham and beyond?
We believe that effective dispute resolution must be accessible to everyone, regardless of
their background, language, or circumstances. Our Equality & Diversity Policy is not just a
statement; it is embedded in the practical way we deliver our services.
Bridging Communication and Cultural Gaps
We actively bridge communication gaps by offering our mediation services in six different
languages. This ensures that language is not a barrier to a fair hearing and a just outcome.
Our specialisation in disputes involving family business succession, religious organisation
governance, and cultural conflicts means we understand the sensitive contexts that often
surround these issues. We are skilled in facilitating creative remedies that incorporate cultural
and religious considerations—solutions that a court of law often cannot order.
Unmatched Accessibility and Flexibility
We are committed to making the mediation process as accessible as possible. Our scheduling
is designed to fit your life, not the rigid timetable of the courts. We offer evening and
weekend sessions to ensure that you do not have to choose between your livelihood and
resolving your dispute.
Furthermore, we provide a range of participation options to suit your needs:
• Virtual and Video Mediation: For convenience and for parties in different locations.
• Phone Mediation: For simpler disputes or when video is not an option.
• Face-to-Face Meetings: Held at our Birmingham offices or a neutral venue of your
choice.
We are committed to making reasonable adjustments for any disability or additional need,
ensuring that every party can participate fully and effectively in the process.
