What does a mediator do?

A mediator is neutral. They do not decide who is right. They help both sides talk, understand each other and look for an outcome they can both accept.

Is it binding?

A mediation is voluntary. If both sides reach an agreement and sign it, that agreement can be relied on; if not, you are free to explore other options.
