Conciliation services in Scotland have developed rapidly since the first service, Lothian Family Conciliation Service (LFCS), was set up in Edinburgh in 1984. Conciliators in Scotland work principally with parents, but wherever possible involve children in the process. The author monitored and evaluated this work over two years. This article outlines the context of conciliation in Scotland, briefly describes the LFCS and presents the research findings on the service's involvement with children.
