Mediation contains the following set of principles which can assist parties
to reach an agreement about a dispute. Mediation is:
: All parties must agree to participate. Any party can call the
mediation off at any time. CONFIDENTIAL: Nothing that happens during the session will be reported
to anyone. Only the Agreement is "public information".
THE GOAL: is to assist the parties to reach an acceptable solution for the
concerns at hand.
THE AGREEMENT: is decided by the parties themselves in their own words.
THIS IS YOUR PROCESS: Mediators are volunteers trained to help you find your own solutions. They are not judges. They will NOT take sides or decide who is "right" and who is "wrong." You determine the outcome. Your agreement will be subject to review by the BHA legal department to assure compliance with the BHA policy and applicable laws.
MONITORING: The BHA will monitor the agreement to ensure success.
