User Engagement and Consultation
Good decisions begin with good conversations
Many disagreements can be avoided altogether when organisations engage meaningfully with the people affected by their decisions.
At Yates Mediation, we offer independent user engagement and consultation services that help organisations understand different perspectives before issues develop into formal disputes.

Turning engagement into meaningful action
Drawing on the same facilitative skills used in mediation, we create structured conversations that encourage open dialogue, active listening and collaborative problem-solving.
We support organisations with:
- Accessibility consultation
- Stakeholder engagement
- Community workshops
- Service user engagement
- Facilitated discussions
- Early resolution conversations
Why we are different
Our experience across disability, accessibility, education, workplaces and the built environment allows us to engage confidently with complex and sometimes sensitive issues.
By involving people early, organisations can improve decision-making, strengthen relationships and identify practical solutions before positions become entrenched.
Sometimes the most effective way to resolve conflict is to prevent it from arising in the first place.
