Family Mediation Voucher Scheme

SF&MS has signed up to the family mediation voucher scheme, that has been launched by The Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

The scheme offers mediation participants a financial contribution of up to £500 per family, towards the total costs of their mediation.

Mediation vouchers will only be allocated to cases where there is a dispute regarding child
arrangements.

Consent from the clients is required before we then apply for the voucher on their behalf.

Please get in touch to find out more about the scheme, or alternatively you can visit the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme website.

 

It is important to note that the mediation voucher will not cover the cost of a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) or paperwork. The financial contribution can only contribute
towards the cost of mediation itself.

Legal Aid

SF&MS do not currently hold a contract with the Legal Aid Agency (LAA).

if you think you might be eligible for legal aid, you can find a mediation provider who offers Legal Aid on the FMC website: FMC Register Search – Family Mediation Council

If you are in receipt of state benefits, such as Universal Credit, and you have little or no equity in property, then you might be eligible.

If you are not eligible for legal aid, but the other party is, then your MIAM will be free of charge, as well as your first mediation session.
