Celebrating Family Mediation Week 2024!
Every year The Family Mediation Council (FMC) runs Family Mediation week. This year it ran from the 22nd to 26th of January 2024.
We are FMC Accredited Mediators. You can see our FMC Member page here..
‘All issues’ means we can work with all the issues that may stem from a divorce or separation. This may involve decisions on property, children, finances and living arrangements.
What is a family mediator?
Family mediation is a process in which an independent, professional mediator helps you work out arrangements for children and for finances following separation. You can revisit family mediation, which can also be very helpful when arrangements you’ve made before need to change, particularly as your children grow up.
The Family Mediation Council accredits mediators so you know you can trust the service will be reliable and informed by the latest practice developments.
It may surprise you to know that anyone can call themselves a mediator! That is why it’s important to check the practitioner you are instructing is properly accredited and trained. One way you can do that is through checking their registration details with the Family Mediation Council (FMC).
The purpose of Family Mediation Week 2024 is to highlight the role and scope of mediation for families and separating couples. By raising awareness of family mediation and of the benefits it can bring to separating families we hope to let more people know about the benefits of family mediation and encourage separating couples to think about family mediation as a way of helping them take control. Family mediation puts you firmly at the centre when making decisions together and building a positive future for your whole family.
