The Family Mediation Council

The Family Mediation Council (FMC) is an organization in the UK that promotes and regulates family mediation services. It aims to help families resolve disputes, particularly concerning divorce, child custody, and finances, outside of court. By providing a framework and standards for mediators, the FMC ensures qualified professionals assist families in finding mutually agreeable solutions. This process encourages open communication, reduces conflict, and can be more cost-effective and quicker than traditional legal routes. The FMC also seeks to improve public understanding of mediation and increases access to these services.
