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 was Family Mediation Week 2025?
Family Mediation Week took place from 27 – 31 January 2025. Next year’s date is coming soon!
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.
You can watch recordings of the webinars that have taken place by selecting the session you would like to watch here.
As a mediator or another professional working with separated families, how do I get more involved in FMW?
Each year, we issue a Guide to Getting Involved, which provides ideas and inspiration for you to get involved in Family Mediation Week and promote family mediation, as well as providing you with resources to help you do that. Look out for the 2026 Guide nearer the time.
A call for submissions for potential 2026 FMW webinars will be issued later in 2025, and opportunities for sponsors will also be made available.
If you would like to get involved in planning Family Mediation Week for 2026, please contact us at info@familymediationcouncil.org.uk
