Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MIAM?

A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is an individual meeting with a mediator that is required before most applications to the family court. It gives you information about mediation and whether it could help your situation. Becky Taylor Mediation offers MIAMs as part of its mediation services.

Do I have to go to mediation before going to court?

In most family law cases in England and Wales, you are required to attend a MIAM and consider mediation before making a court application. This does not mean you have to proceed with mediation, but you do need to have the information meeting first.

What is an Mediation Support?

An Mediation Support (Education, Health and Care Plan) is a legal document produced by a local authority that sets out a child or young person's special educational needs and the support they require. Becky Taylor Mediation can help parents understand, request, and if necessary challenge an Mediation Support.

What is the Mediation Process?

The Mediation Process (Family Support and Disability Tribunal) is a legal body that hears appeals from parents and young people who disagree with decisions made by their local authority about special educational needs provision. Becky Taylor Mediation can provide McKenzie Friend support to parents preparing for tribunal.
