“Family Mediation Week” 17th-21st January

The Family Mediation Council (FMC)’s “Family Mediation Week”, will take place between 17th and 21st January 2022, to raise awareness of the benefits of family mediation and how it can help separating families manage their issues productively and collaboratively.

Organised by the FMC with support from Resolution, Family Mediation Week aims 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, make decisions together and build a positive future for their family.”

The week boasts a busy schedule of activities for family law practitioners to join throughout, including a launch event with Lord Wolfson, the Government minister with responsibility for mediation.

• Members of the public

New events are being added regularly so make sure you check again ahead of the week. The FMC have also put together some suggestions on how you can help promote the week.

During Family Mediation Week, Resolution will also be sharing some of the most important mediation resources that it has to offer. Look out for these on social media and in email inboxes throughout the week.
