Trainer: Beverley Sayers

This course has been approved by the Family Mediation Council (FMC).

The Family Mediation Council (FMC) require ALL mediators to integrate discussion of Child Inclusive Mediation (CIM) into their regular practice. Mediators are required to help parents, from the Assessment meeting onwards, understand the ways in which ‘the voice of the child’ may be heard along with discussing the process of CIM.

The course will give you experience in understanding how CIM works in practice and how to approach CIM with parents, along with the opportunity to consider its benefits and when it may be inappropriate. You will gain confidence and understanding of the CIM process which will enhance your ability to support parents to consider the use of Child Inclusive Practice within their adult mediation.

This course is a pre-requisite to submitting your portfolio for competence assessment and meets the FMC requirements for Child Inclusive Mediation practice and training – click here to view.

The course will offer a range of input, discussions, role play and exercises.
