Surrey Family & Mediation Services

Figuring out the “how’s” when kids are back at school is not easy, and during a separation can be even harder. Sometimes it may feel like there is no solution and it is a lonely way to feel for parents and children.

Mediation can help with finding an answer to those questions in a safe and controlled environment. Open and transparent conversations can make back to school feel a little less daunting.

To find out more, contact us with any questions you have.

Even after separation, parents can work together to provide children with consistency, reassurance and the opportunity to maintain strong relationships with both parents.

At SFMS, we believe that mediation can help families communicate more effectively and find practical solutions that keep children at the heart of the conversation.

For further information, enquire today and our team will be happy to help.

The number of families attending mediation before court is rising.

Families are encouraged to attend mediation before proceedings take place, not only to resolve conflicts through NCDR but also to save time, money and keep conversations and outcomes in a structured and controlled environment, which ultimately helps you to move forwards in a clearer headspace.

At SFMS we are proudly collaborating with the Voucher Scheme, a £500 voucher to go towards the cost of mediation. All you need to do, is make the decision to apply for it, and leave the rest to us.

The heatwave isn't the only thing raising temperatures this summer: Separated parents urged to choose mediation before court

At SFMS, we’re dedicated to helping families move forwards. ❤️

We understand that the cost of accessing mediation can sometimes be a barrier for families who need support to work through important family matters.

That’s why we work hard to offer legal aid for mediation, helping eligible individuals access our mediation services where they may otherwise be unable to afford them.

Mediation gives families the opportunity to have supported, constructive conversations and work towards their own agreements about the future.

If you think you may be eligible for legal aid for mediation, get in touch with SFMS to find out more.

The new Secretary of State for Justice is being urged to strengthen family mediation in a letter from the Family Mediation Council
