Award winning mediator, Stuart Hanson, helps prisons start family mediation.

“I tried telling my son with emotional tact the truth of the matter, but you can’t hide the fact. His Daddy has gone and has gone for a while. You can’t say it with flowers or manage a smile.”Alison highlights the fact that parents don’t cease being parents when they are jailed and this is something that Direct Mediation Services’ family mediation service wishes to focus on. Stuart Hanson’s final comment was “Family mediation is essential in bringing visibility to these forgotten families. In addition to this, there are subsequent benefits to society that go beyond the prisoner’s family. Hartfield found in her report that the intervention of family mediation had a direct impact on reoffending rates with the prisoners she worked with. This is a win win situation for everyone and we look forward to offering this service in all prisons in England and Wales.” If you would like to take part in family mediation in prisons or just want to know more, please contact Stuart Hanson on: stuart@directmediationservices.co.uk or call 0113 468 9593 and select Option 4.
