ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE USE POLICY

At Pax Mediation, we are committed to protecting your privacy, confidentiality, and trust. This policy explains how we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) within our organisation.

Our Approach to AI

 

Mediation at Pax Mediation is always human-led, confidential, and conducted by FMCA accredited mediators.

 

We do not use AI:

  • During mediation sessions

  • To make decisions about your case

  • To replace professional judgement.

 

AI is used only to support our internal processes and improve how we deliver our service.

Our approach to AI is consistent with the professional standards and guidance set by the Family Mediation Council.

How We Use AI

 

We may use AI tools for limited business and administrative purposes, including:

  • Drafting general templates and standard documents

  • Developing training materials and internal resources

  • Supporting operational efficiency and planning

 

This supports efficiency while ensuring mediation itself remains entirely human.

Your Confidentiality Comes First

We take a strict approach to protecting your information:

  • We do not input client-identifiable information into AI systems

  • We do not upload mediation documents, financial information, or personal case details into AI tools

  • Any AI use is based only on generic or anonymised information

 

All client data continues to be handled securely in line with our Privacy Notice and UK data protection law.

What We Do Not Use AI For

 

In line with professional standards and safeguarding responsibilities, we do not use AI for:

  • Mediation sessions or discussions

  • MIAM assessments or suitability decisions

  • Domestic abuse or safeguarding screening

  • Reviewing financial disclosure

  • Providing legal or mediation advice

  • Determining outcomes or agreements

 

All of these are carried out solely by trained, accredited FMCA mediators.

Data Protection and GDPR Compliance

 

Our use of AI is consistent with our obligations under:

  • UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)

  • Data Protection Act 2018

 

AI tools are not used to process personal client data.

Accuracy and Responsibility

 

AI can support efficiency, but it is not always accurate.

 

For this reason:

  • All AI-assisted content is reviewed by a mediator or team member

  • We do not rely on AI for professional judgement

  • Pax Mediation remains fully responsible for all work produced

Transparency and Trust

 

We believe in being open about how we work.

 

If you have any questions about:

  • how we use AI, or

  • how your data is handled

 

Please contact us and we will be happy to explain.

Ongoing Review

 

We regularly review our use of technology to ensure it remains:

  • Safe

  • Appropriate

  • In line with legal requirements and the standards of the Family Mediation Council.
