Family Mediation Council

The Family Mediation Council (FMC) is a professional body in the UK that sets standards and supports mediators who help families resolve divorce, separation, or child arrangements amicably. It ensures mediators are qualified, competent, and adhere to ethical practices. The FMC promotes alternative dispute resolution to avoid lengthy and costly court proceedings, aiming to facilitate constructive communication and fair agreements between family members. By overseeing and accrediting mediators, it helps families find mutually acceptable solutions with dignity and respect.
