Mediation in Education, Moray
When children have needs at school that are not being met their parents have a right to ask for extra learning support.
It can be a frustrating experience for parents who want their children to have the right level of help for the child to reach their full potential.
Sometimes there is a difference of opinion between the family and the local authority about the level of learning support being provided. In these cases, it can be helpful to involve someone from outside the situation.
Our confidential, voluntary Mediation in Education Service uses a trained, independent mediator to help the family and the local authority understand each other's point of view and come to a shared solution.
Mediation gives everyone a chance to have their say. It can result in better understanding and improved relationships. It also helps both sides come to a realistic and fair agreement..
Families have a right to request this service under the Additional Support for Learning Act. The Service is voluntary and confidential.
We welcome self-referrals from families.
