Family Mediation Week 2025 – Timetable

We held a great set of webinars during Family Mediation Week 2025, helping professionals and members of the public find out more about family mediation.

These sessions will be of interest to members of the public interested in family mediation because you are going or have been through separation, as well as for  professionals who work with families every day and see the impact separation can have. We also had webinars for you if you are a professional who works in the family justice system as a lawyer, mediators or in another role, to help increase your understanding of mediation as part of your continuing professional development.
