FMC Family Mediation Scheme vouchers

The Ministry of Justice Family Mediation Voucher Scheme runs until March 2025.

Do enquire if you are interested in this scheme to get a voucher to cover up to £500 towards family mediation fees.

You can claim up to £500 towards family mediation costs, providing certain criteria are met.

Only mediators authorised by the Family Mediation Council (FMC) can take part in the voucher scheme.

On attendance of a MIAM (mediation information and assessment meeting), we will assess the issues which you seek to resolve to see if they are suitable for mediation. They must meet the eligibility requirements for the voucher scheme.

Not all cases are eligible under the scheme. The case types specified below are eligible for a mediation voucher:

  1. a dispute/application regarding a child
  2. a dispute/application regarding family financial matters where you are also involved in a dispute/application relating to a child

If you decide to proceed with mediation, and are eligible for the voucher, we will apply for the voucher funding and it will be paid directly to us once all mediation sessions are concluded. You do not receive a physical voucher and you do not need to make an application for it yourself.

Vouchers are limited in number and will be offered to eligible clients until they are no longer available. We can let you know if there are vouchers available.
