Trust & privacy
Confidentiality is part of what makes mediation work
People speak more openly when they understand the privacy boundaries. Here’s the plain-English version of what that usually means.
The general rule
Mediation conversations are designed to stay private. That privacy helps people explore options honestly without performing for a courtroom audience.
Important exceptions
Laws may require disclosure in limited situations—especially around safety or mandated reporting. Your mediator will explain relevant boundaries before substantive talks begin. Rules can vary by jurisdiction.
