Child Inclusive Mediation
The UK government recently made changes to policy regarding the involvement of children in court proceedings and mediation regarding them. This resulted in the Family Mediation Council amending its Code of Practice to include; “All children and young people aged 10 and above should be offered the opportunity to have their voices heard directly during the Mediation, if they wish.”

What is Mediation?
When you and an ex-partner have family issues about which you do not agree, such as parenting decisions, arrangements for your children, financial arrangements between yourself and the ex-partner or divorce itself, mediation is one of three main formal options that can help you resolve them.
What mediation can and can’t do
You can be given solutions that others in similar circumstances have used. All of our mediators have assisted hundreds or thousands of people in similar situations to you, and can flag up any courses of action that seem relevant to your case.
Why Mediation?
Mediation provides clients with a “safe” environment in which to discuss their issues. In court a judge or magistrates will make decisions about your life / the lives of your children, which will then be binding. You may not agree with the court’s decision and may feel that the outcome does not work and / or is not fair.
How It Works
If you contact us to find out about, or to book, mediation, you will either do so by filling in a referral form on this site after which we will call you back, or directly over the phone. The admin team will ask you some questions and help you to decide between your initial options.
