f you have experienced abuse or violence from your ex-partner, you may still choose to go through FDR, but it is imperative that you feel safe and are safe before, during and after mediation. Therefore, extra safety measures are put in place, such as online, shuttle or phone mediation.
Part of the FDRP's role is to continually assess the appropriateness of mediation through ongoing risk and safety assessments, starting with the pre-mediation intake session. The pre-mediation intake session is a confidential and private session with the mediator to assess all risk and safety issues, suitability and appropriateness of FDR.
