CWFM's Mediators All our mediators participate in extensive core family mediation training with a Family Mediation Council (FMC) recognised provider and co-work with experienced mediators to gain the practical skills. Once assessed internally as "Ready to Practice" new mediators must manage (supervised by an experienced, competence assessed mediator) and complete 5 mediation cases and then submit a portfolio to the FMC for competence assessment, before they can work as a sole mediator on publicly funded (legal aid) cases. All mediators are required to participate in CPD activities and appraisal annually and receive regular supervision. |
