As an adviser in a voluntary organisation, you work with a wide range of people with individual needs and circumstances. Many clients will have separated from partners and will need to make arrangements for their children (such as where they will live or when/how often they will see different family members) or discuss property and finances.
Making these arrangements isn’t easy, and people often do not know where to turn to help them sort things out. Family mediation can help.
The webinar for voluntary organisations (Law Centres, Citizens Advice, charities, Law Clinics etc) explains what family mediation is and how it can help families.
