Family Mediation Week, 26 – 30 Jan 2026

 

What is Family Mediation Week?

Family Mediation Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of family mediation and of the benefits it can bring to separating families. Our aim is to let more people know about the benefits of family mediation and encourage separating couples to think about family mediation as a way of helping them take control, make decisions together and build a positive future for their family.

When is Family Mediation Week 2026?

Family Mediation Week took place from 26 – 30 January 2026.

What happens during Family Mediation Week?

Over the course of the Family Mediation Week, we publish resources, information, blog posts and issue news stories to local, regional and national media explaining the benefits of mediation. Our events are for members of the public, lawyers, other professionals working with separating families and for mediators.

You can watch recordings of the webinars that have taken place by selecting the session you would like to watch here.

As a mediator or another professional working with separated families, how do I get more involved in FMW?

Each year, we issue a Guide to Getting Involved, which provides ideas and inspiration for you to get involved in Family Mediation Week and promote family mediation, as well as providing you with resources to help you do that.

A call for submissions for potential 2026 FMW webinars opened in summer 2025.

Opportunities for sponsors are also available.
