This chapter sets out our findings regarding which families were able to resolve matters in child-inclusive mediation. It reflects on the extent to which the child's views had been acted upon and informed agreements reached about child arrangements to consider whether Lundy's fourth requirement of an article 12 compliant service for children whose parents separate, 'influence' (Lundy, 2007: 937), was met. It further discusses, then compares, young people and parents' satisfaction with outcomes and the longer-term impact on the family and family relationships. For the minority dissatisfied with the outcome, it concludes by reflecting on what seemed to be driving their disappointment.
