Jill Goldson has spent decades working as a mediator with separating parents, together with their children. 

As well as running thousands of mediations, she's advised government policy on family law, and is a researcher.

Jill Goldson's grounding principle is that child-inclusive work with families can make it better for everyone.

She says a nationwide fully funded mediation service is available to families, but not enough people know about it.

She's just published a book setting out what she's learned over the years about from working with families. Jill's book is available via Amazon and University Bookshop Auckland
