Did you know there is a Community Mediation Centre (CMC) in Woodlands Civic Centre? But first, you might ask what does the CMC do?
The CMC is an agency operated by the Ministry of Law. It aims to provide an informal and amicable way of settling inter-personal, social and community disputes.
Who goes to the CMC for help?
You may remember the Everitt Road episode where families were involved in a dispute. Such incidents could be resolved by having the police refer disputes between neighbours to the CMC.
What are the advantages of mediation?
1) Private and confidential
2) Time and cost savings
3) Flexible and informal
4) Seeks win-win solution
5) Preserves post-conflict relationships
If you know of a problem that could help from CMC, you can contact their hotline 6325 1600. They will assess the problem to see if it is suitable for mediation at the Centre.
Alternatively, you can call their Regional North Centre at 68934193
