Following the recommendations of the Voice of the Child dispute resolution advisory group, the FMC and Family Mediation Standards Board have recently approved the new standards for child inclusive mediation.
This new 40 hour training course for mediators who wish to train to meet with children and young people includes attended and distance-based learning. Mediators are required to complete 19 hours of the training by remote study which will take place as assignments and projects before, during and after the attended part of the course which comprises three days of attended training.
In order to apply, you must:
• Be registered with the FMC as an accredited mediator
• Have the written endorsement for your application from your PPC (please download the letter below)

The course is continually assessed and you must have completed the course successfully before entering practice.
