When is mediation mandatory?

Mediation in Spain is not mandatory, the main reason is that participating in a mediation process is voluntary.

However, as in other countries, it has recently been established that it is mandatory to attend an information session on one of the alternative methods of conflict resolution, whether mediation, conciliation or any other useful system.

centros de menores y centros de acogida

How does a reception center work? Is it the same as a juvenile center?  

Centers for minors are institutions that assume responsibility for children and young people for a specific period, have their guardianship and are in charge of their care and well-being. They are in this organization due to different reasons, whether due to the commission of a crime, the inability of their relatives to support them or the death of their parents, among other cases.
