Understanding the Family Mediation Council for Families in Newham

Family Mediation is a process where an independent, trained professional (a mediator) helps you and your ex-partner to make arrangements for children, property, and finances following separation or divorce. Choosing mediation to help you find solutions around family law is often quicker, less stressful, and cheaper than going to court.

What is the Family Mediation Council (FMC)?

The Family Mediation Council (FMC) is the governing body for family mediation in England and Wales. It sets the standards and code of practice that all registered family mediators must adhere to.

Only mediators registered with the FMC are qualified to:

Demonstrate they meet strict criteria for competence.
Sign the relevant court form (FM1 or C100) confirming you have attended a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM), which is usually a legal requirement before applying to the Family Court.
Offer services under the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme (if eligible, this scheme can provide a contribution of up to £500 towards the cost of mediation relating to children).

Our mediators are Family Mediation Council registered and we offer Legal Aid and the Mediation Voucher Scheme to eligible parties.
