Grandparents or Grandchildren's Rights?

I have always disliked the phrase 'Grandparents Rights,' it is banded about by the media when discussing denied contact.
It is guaranteed to antagonise any resident parent, it is the grandchildren who are the important people who find themselves, through no fault of their own,slap bang in the middle of a horrible situation. The phrase needs to be , 'Grandchildren's Rights' every child has the right to be allowed contact with their grandparents, if they wish to and it is safe for them to do so.
If a couple decide to part then it should be mandatory for them to undertake mediation, and at this stage is when contact must be legally agreed with the children being part of the process.
If the agreement is not adhered to then there must be consequences.
