Family Mediation Week kicks off on 26th January with a week of diverse events promoting the benefits of mediation to separating couples. These include a number of online sessions specifically aimed at the public with one session hosted by “This Morning” Agony Aunt Deidre Sanders on the topic of family separation and mediation.
This year there are also specific sessions for teachers and others working in education settings, for those involved in Sharia Councils, for military families, as well sessions for mediators, legal professionals and others working in the family justice space.
The full timetable can be accessed here - Family Mediation Week 2026 - Webinar Timetable - Family Mediation Council. Sessions are free to attend and simply require registration.
As Helen Cankett, BPE’s Family Mediator, says:
“Family Mediation can be an excellent way for separating couples to have supported conversations about important topics such as financial and child arrangements, in a safe and dignified way. Knowledge about the process is key and the sessions on offer this Family Mediation Week are a great way to learn more about the benefits of mediation and the support it can offer. Having attended past sessions run by the Family Mediation Council during Family Mediation Week, I can attest to how informative they are.”
