ASSESSMENT
Our assessment service, operated in partnership with Portsmouth City Council Housing Department since 2001, explores opportunities to resolve disagreements.
MEDIATION
Our trained mediators are able to quickly build a rapport with the individuals and parties concerned, encouraging them to talk about their concerns and engage in restorative dialogue.
RESTORATIVE PRACTICE
We are driven by a desire to apply restorative solutions to avoid conflict and build long lasting relationships for the future.
