OUR PRICES

Understandably, one of the key questions you'll want to answer is how much? Whether it be for a mediation or to train as a mediator. One of our core values is transparency in everything we do, so we have set out below our very simple cost structures which we hope will provide you with the information you need.

We are not the cheapest option and we never will be - we're also not the most expensive by a long way! We firmly believe we are by far the best value for money for both mediations and training given the quality, expertise and results that we deliver.

Mediation is unfortunately an unregulated industry, therefore there are plenty of service providers who claim to offer high quality mediation or training without the necessary skills and experience. All of our professional mediators are regulated by the Civil Mediation Council and are highly experienced in their field. Similarly, our training is of the very highest standard and unlike many providers,  our trainers are real-life mediators. Additionally,  we provide coaching as well as training throughout the three or five days. We're very proud of the amazing testimonials we receive from our delegates.  

HOW MUCH DOES A MEDIATION COST?

Our pricing structure for mediations is simple - we charge £675 + VAT per party. Most mediations are between two people, which would be a total cost of £1,350 + VAT (two parties at £675 + VAT each). The cost includes:-

1) Allocation of a fully qualified, accredited and experienced mediator

2) Client call ahead of the mediation

3) Sending questions & answers to parties

4) Implementing without prejudice agreements to mediate

5) Pre-mediation calls with each party (up to one hour each ahead of the mediation)

6) A full day of mediation (for two people - longer for three or more)

7) Mediation outcome agreements

8) Follow-up four weeks after the mediation

Sometimes we help clients to resolve issues outside the scope of an official mediation, eg by facilitating conversations between individuals or teams. For this type of work we charge by the hour. The hourly cost for one of our mediators is £160 + VAT per hour.

In terms of expenses, online / virtual mediations do not incur any, whereas in-person we have to cover costs for travel and accommodation, etc. However, please be assured that if we need to stay overnight we don't stay in luxury hotels - Premier Inns or equivalent are fine for us!

We always keep costs and expenses to a minimum for our clients - that's important to us as part of our customer service ethos.
