Standards for all Registered Mediators
The FMC operates a framework for professional standards and regulation for family mediators. All mediators should read the FMC Manual of Professional Standards and Self-Regulatory Framework (updated September 2024). Please note that there are pending changes to this document to incorporate new MIAM standards (see above).
Family mediators must also adhere to the FMC’s Code of Practice.
From time to time, the FMSB will publish regulatory notes. These will be published below:
