THE MEDIATION AGENCY NEWS
In 2007, The Mediation Agency moved it's practice to the Isle of Man. This move heralds a new beginning for the company and its founders, Dr. Frank Hanna and Nancy Peterson. "Having worked for seven years in the United States, and having been part of the world of mediation at the highest level, it's exciting to bring that experience back to the UK. Mediation is still embryonic here, and helping people to understand and practice it's remarkable potential is a challenge I simply couldn't resist." states Dr. Frank Hanna.
Bringing the highest level service and training to the UK is the driving force behind the move. Nancy Peterson resigned her position as Director of Education and Professional Development for New York State Dispute Resolution Association (NYSDRA). When asked what was her motivation behind this decision, she replied, "The position I held with New York State was important to me, I feel I brought a lot to them and equally, the experience taught me quite a bit. The USA, and in particular New York State, has used the benefits of mediation to their full advantage. There are some 62 community, state sanctioned mediation centers throughout the state. This allows for the public to take advantage of services ranging from divorce to high level business mediations. Additionally, I was charged with establishing NYSDRA's mediator certification programme. I have remained on with NYSDRA as a consultant and would like to be a part of raising the UK public awareness of mediation to its highest potential."

The Mediation Agency, and it's principals, will certainly do their part in helping to promote best practice of mediation throughout the UK.
