Start at bars.co.uk/reportMediation reports are requests to resolve an issue. They are not findings of fault, wrongdoing or legal liability.
We show a report only after we check it, link it to the venue, tell the venue and get the reporter's permission. We never show names, report details, evidence, exact dates or private agreements. These figures do not change scores or rankings.
The month is when we received the report, not when the issue happened.
Newest first. We show a result only if both sides agree to the wording and we check it for private information.
