Understanding Mediation for Families in Brent and London Boroughs.

The Family Mediation Council in Brent
The Family Mediation Council (FMC) is the primary and most important self-regulatory body for family mediation in England and Wales. It sets the professional standards, training, and code of practice that mediators must follow.
Accreditation: Only mediators registered with the FMC are considered Accredited Family Mediators (or working towards accreditation) and are qualified to:
Sign the required court form (FM1 or C100) to confirm you have attended a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). This is generally a legal requirement before making a family application to the court.
Participate in the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme, which can provide up to £500 toward mediation costs related to children (if eligible).
Purpose: The FMC maintains a professional register, ensuring mediators are properly trained, insured, and follow a Code of Practice.
The FMC itself is a council made up of several member organisations. Mediators are usually members of one of these specific bodies, which validates their professional standing:
- College of Mediators (CoM): A membership body for mediators across all disciplines, including family.
- Family Mediators Association (FMA): A large association for family mediators.
- Resolution: An organisation for family law professionals who commit to a non-confrontational approach.
- National Family Mediation (NFM): A network of not-for-profit family mediation services.
Local Initiatives (Brent-specific)
Some local charities or community groups, such as the Centre For Peaceful Solutions (which has established the Brent Mediation Service), may provide mediation services within the borough, sometimes with a focus on community or family issues. These services should ideally still employ or refer to FMC-registered family mediators for court-related matters.
