...a good way to bring people together in the interests of the child

Global Mediation can be a good way to bring people together in the interests of the child or young person. It isn't the parent being summoned into school or the school being held to account to a quasi-judicial body. It is a positive alternative, bringing people together, preceded by personal contact, exploring points of agreement between parties who each have their own perspective, yet share the aim of wanting the pupil to succeed.
