As a practicing Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) mediator and Voice Of Child Specialist (VOCS) with Fair Way Resolution Limited, I have had the benefit of seeing this new VOCS role in action from both sides of the story.  A VOCS won’t be necessary in all FDR mediations, but in many it can be helpful, influential or even pivotal.  I have covered several case studies below for an insight into the process.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?  He tāngata, He tamariki, He whānau

I have the best job in the world! I get to care for, respect and support people who are moving through a change in their whānau situation.  As a Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) mediator, I get to work with individuals who may be going through a separation or perhaps they were never in a relationship but through their connection they have become parents.
