Confidentiality Policy
At Fairway Mediation Solutions, confidentiality is a cornerstone of our mediation services. We are committed to ensuring that all discussions and information shared during mediation remain strictly confidential.
1. Confidentiality in Mediation
All participants, including mediators, parties involved, and any representatives, agree to keep all information shared during the mediation process confidential. This includes:
-
Discussions during mediation sessions.
-
Any documents or evidence presented.
-
Settlement terms, unless all parties agree to disclose them.
2. Exceptions to Confidentiality
Confidentiality may only be breached in the following circumstances:
-
All parties provide written consent to the disclosure of specific information.
-
Disclosure is required by law, such as in cases of serious threats to safety, or where a legal obligation to report exists.
-
Information that is already public or was known prior to the mediation is not considered confidential.
3. Mediator’s Role
Strict confidentiality standards bind our mediators. They will not disclose any information shared during the mediation process to anyone outside of the mediation unless legally required to do so.
4. Participants’ Responsibility
All parties involved in the mediation are expected to uphold the confidentiality agreement. This means that participants must not discuss or share information from the mediation with anyone not involved in the process.
5. Confidentiality Agreements
At the start of the mediation, all participants will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. This agreement outlines their obligations to maintain confidentiality and the consequences of any breach.
6. Breach of Confidentiality
Any breach of confidentiality by a participant may result in the termination of the mediation process and potential legal consequences. We take breaches of confidentiality seriously to protect the integrity of the mediation process.
