What is Family Mediation Week?
Family Mediation Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of family mediation and of the benefits it can bring to separating families. Our aim is 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.
When is Family Mediation Week 2025?
Family Mediation Week takes place in January each year. Family Mediation Week 2025 will take place from 27 – 31 January.
What happens during Family Mediation Week?
Over the course of the Family Mediation Week, we publish resources, information, blog posts and issue news stories to local, regional and national media explaining the benefits of mediation. Our events are for members of the public, lawyers, other professionals working with separating families and for mediators.
Please see details of the 2024 events here:
- Events for the Public
- Events for Professionals Working with Families (teachers, health practitioners, social workers & more)
- Events for Professionals Working in Family Justice (lawyers, arbitrators, CAFCASS officers, judiciary & local family justice board members)

As a mediator or another professional working with separated families, how do I get more involved?
The FMC will issue a guide to getting involved ahead of Family Mediation Week 2025. In the meantime, you can look at our 2024 Guide to Getting Involved for ideas and inspiration!
