MEDIATOR Definition & Meaning
If you want a mediator who is also a solicitor, use the search on the Family Mediation Council’s website and check what it says on the mediator’s website about their background. Or the search on Resolution’s site, where you can search by ‘mediator’ and in the details section you can see if the mediator is also a solicitor. Be aware, however, that this list includes some mediators who are not accredited. You can get advice from a solicitor between sessions to check that the agreements you are coming to are fair. The mediator will ensure that you are properly heard and that your case is understood by everyone present. So, if you are considering going to court you need to have had an introductory meeting about mediation first. These are called Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings or MIAMs for short. You need to attend one of these meetings unless you have an agreement already written down that you want made into an order by the court (called a consent order), or if you can show you are exempt. Not all mediators do legal aid funded mediation, but those who do must be accredited – you can search for them by ticking the second box in the section called ‘Refine my search’ on the Find your local mediator page. If trying to agree between yourselves or through mediation does not work you may need to get some advice from a solicitor on what to do next, if you can afford to. A family law solicitor can negotiate with your ex on your behalf. This is usually more expensive than mediation, unless you are eligible for legal aid. To help, we have teamed up with Resolution to provide a panel of family law solicitors that can help at the most important points of the process for a fixed fee. We are clear about what areas of the case they can advise you on and how much their help will cost – so that you can be certain you can afford it. The Find a job service can help you with your search for jobs and send alerts when new jobs become available. You'll improve your job prospects if you take an accredited training programme after university. The programme has to be approved by the Family Mediation Council (FMC).

Mediation is when an impartial professional (the mediator) helps both sides work out an agreement. It’s confidential and usually quicker and cheaper than going to court.
