Family Mediation Week – helping separated families know which way to turn (21 January 2021)
Date: 21/01/2021
More than any other time of the year, January is a month when families decide to separate.
For most, this will be their first experience of separation, and they will start searching for help and advice about where to turn for help to resolve issues - who will the children live with? What will happen with money?
England’s third national lockdown doesn’t make it any less likely that people will be asking these questions. If anything, it simply adds to confusion, or uncertainty, about what services might be available. People may not be sure where to turn.
This is why Duncan Lewis Solicitors is supporting Family Mediation Week. It takes place from 18 to 22 January, and aims to provide answers, by sharing information about the mediation process. It will explain how Family Mediation Council registered mediators can help families consider what is best for their future, and how mediation is available online to help them during the coronavirus pandemic.
Throughout Family Mediation Week, the Family Mediation Council will be sharing information about family mediation to help people understand more about how it works, when it might be suitable, the importance of involving older children in the process of deciding what happens to them, and how it can be funded – including through legal aid.
Through an online mock mediation (they can’t show you a real session, as mediation is confidential), the Family Mediation Council will show you what really happens in a mediation session, give professionals working with families the opportunity to join a virtual coffee morning, so they can ask any questions they have about mediation and will be publishing articles and videos throughout the week.
In addition, we are offering mediation services at a reduced rate of £150ph + VAT until the end of February 2021. Please do not hesitate to contact our Family Mediator, Sophie Burchett who is a family and child care solicitor and member of the Law Society’s Children Panel and a Resolution-trained ‘all issues’ family mediator on telephone 020 7923 4020 or 020 7014 7382 or sophiebu@duncanlewis.com.
