Introducing Resolution’s Lunch & Learn sessions, our bitesize training
To celebrate the Year of the Code, we have launched Lunch & Learn sessions, our bitesize training, putting elements of our Code of Practice front and centre.
We know that time is precious for our members and that we are more likely to retain information when it’s presented in small chunks.
Each session is designed to introduce fresh perspectives and drive lasting behaviour change.
Session 3 overview – Arbitration – What’s it all about?
The Family Law Arbitration Financial Scheme was launched in 2012 by the Institute of Family Law Arbitrators (IFLA). The IFLA Children Scheme was launched on the 18th July 2016.
IFLA is a collaboration between Resolution, the FLBA, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and the Centre for Child and Family Law Reform. IFLA is a not- for profit organisation which devised, owns, regulates and administers the rules of the scheme.
The IFLA Board is chaired by Lord Neuburger (former President of the Supreme Court). There are currently over 300 family law arbitrators in England and Wales who are all members of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
Family law arbitration has developed to include the resolution of disputes concerning children in addition to established areas of matrimonial finance, cohabitation and property disputes, as well as finances for children and disputed will and estate claims.

This lunch and learn session will provide an overview of the IFLA scheme. It will explain:
- The advantages and benefits of arbitration over litigation
- Who should use the scheme
- Safeguarding
