Recorded on 7 May 2026. Elder mediation as a specialist skill is appropriate for family conversations involving ageing loved ones. This specialised process transforms difficult conversations, for example, about care, finances or living arrangements, into collaborative agreements. It aims to encourage open communication, preserve/restore relationships, honour dignity, and create personalised solutions while avoiding costly court battles

These skills can be utilised in any context where there are elderly people in the room to enhance engagement in the process. Mediators working in a wide range of contexts, including FDR, commercial, complaints, employment, tenancy, family succession matters or environmental issues, will benefit from this knowledge.
