🏘️ Matthew Barber (Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley) announces launch of Thames Valley anti-social behaviour (ASB) mediation service

The Thames Valley ASB Mediation Service is being delivered by Alternatives to Conflict (previously known as Mediation Bucks) and is available to residents across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes.

Mediation provides an independent support service and can offer a solution when there is no clear course of action open to a statutory agency, such as the police or local authority. It also represents an alternative to court proceedings and intervention by statutory agencies.

Mediation is a confidential, informal process in which a neutral third party, the mediator, will help those who are in dispute to reach agreement. Individuals can either self-refer into the mediation service or professionals can complete a referral with the individuals consent.
