Last week I formally launched my consultation on mediation.

The main focus of my consultation is increasing the use and consistency of mediation services by establishing a new process of court-initiated mediation that includes an initial mandatory process involving a statutory duty mediator.

Below is my video launching the consultation and here is a link to the parliament webpage for the consultation.https://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusi…/…/111864.aspx

This webpage will be updated with responses to my consultation.

In line with the Scottish Parliament’s Member’s Bill Process, I am now publishing the responses, excluding confidential responses, below.

The submissions are identified by; respondent name, chronological position, and status as either an individual or organisational response.
