A National Mediation Helpline was launched by the Ministry of Justice to promote cost effective dispute resolution through mediation. The Ministry of Justice worked closely with the Civil Mediation Council to deliver the helpline. Effective Dispute Solutions Limited is a Civil Mediation Council accredited mediation provider and was authorised to receive referrals from the Helpline up until it closed.
In October 2011 the government and the Ministry of Justice replaced the Helpline with an on line listing of accredited mediation providers of which Effective Dispute Solutions Limited is listed as providing an accredited mediation service across the whole of the UK, despite the closure of the Helpline our mediation fees remain the same as those set by the Helpline for disputes with a value of up to £50,000.
