Child Inclusive

Supporting the Child's Voice in Separation

Children experience separation deeply, even when parents work hard to protect them from conflict. Child-inclusive mediation allows their perspective to be respectfully included — not by placing pressure or responsibility on them, but by giving them a safe way to express how the situation feels for them.

At Atrium Mediation, our child-inclusive mediators are specially trained and accredited by the Mediators' Institute of Ireland (MII) to meet children in a sensitive, age-appropriate way.

With your consent, the mediator may meet privately with your child to hear their experience, and — if appropriate — bring their perspective back into the mediation in a way that supports both parents to make informed decisions.

This process helps parents focus on what truly matters: the well-being of their child and their future relationship with both parents.

The child's voice — heard with care, represented with balance, and respected by both parents.
