Mediation can be a real game-changer if we can get people to engage because then we will know it saves everybody money. However, more will need to be done to promote the fact that it will save people money. Unfortunately, if people are getting free legal aid, they do not care about saving money and therefore it will need to be promoted in other ways. I think it will be a challenge in some ways. However, I believe the Department is doing good work on it.
