Safeguarding vulnerable adults and domestic abuse, the MARAC Framework

There are critical considerations for all mediators in respect of domestic abuse when working in person or remotely with mediation clients. It is essential that mediators are alert to the potential for abuse between adults and/or involving their children and that you do all that you can to assess risk, not mediate where it is not safe, or you are concerned that it may not be safe to do so and ensure that you provide people with a means to seek protection for themselves and for any children.
