Welcome to CSS Mediation

CSS Mediation’s aims are two-fold:

• to help an individual or organisation resolve any form of dispute at an early stage, thus avoiding long and expensive legal battles;

• to give each participant greater satisfaction by allowing more control over how the issue is resolved.

Our services should not only save you time and money, but allow your dignity to remain intact. As an accredited mediator through the Civil Mediation Council, I provide neutrality and objectivity, helping both sides reach a resolution themselves, giving you more ownership of the situation.

My professional background is in Finance (Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) and Education (ex-Vice Principal of a large West Yorkshire college; Chair of Governors of an ’Outstanding’ local school for 18 years). Although much of my work involves staff disputes within the education sector, I mediate in all areas, including divorce and child custody.

Feel free to contact me for a strictly confidential, obligation-free discussion. Visit the Services page for further details on what I can offer.
