Is the Mediation Confidential?

Yes. All discussions between the mediator and the participants, and some of the documents provided at mediation, are confidential. I may discuss matters with each client’s lawyer. Confidentiality does not apply when children are in need of protection and when behaviour of a serious criminal nature arises. The Agreement to Participate in Family Mediation contains provisions about confidentiality that you may review, alone, or with your lawyer.
