WFM are excited to announce the news that the government is investing £1m in family mediation, to support families to resolve issues relating to children.
Under the “Family Mediators Welcome Government Voucher Scheme” the Ministry of Justice will provide contributions of up to £500 per family, to resolve issues relating to children following parental separation.
The hope is that the fund will reduce the costs of mediation for at least 2000 families and help separated families agree solutions that are best for their children, taking into account what is going to be important for them as they grow up.
Family mediation is a proven cost-effective way to resolve differences following separation. This voucher scheme will make it even more accessible, and will help families resolve issues for themselves, without having to go to court.
Do get in touch with us today on 01892-506906 to find out more about family mediation and whether you could qualify for help.
