Re-accreditation

Our Family Mediation Accreditation is a recognised quality standard for practitioners who carry out mediation.

Membership lasts for three years.

You can apply for re-accreditation up to three months before your accreditation expires.

Re-accreditation is a way of assuring clients and key stakeholders that you’re up to date with changes in children law practice and procedure.

FMC re-accreditation process

Family Mediation Accreditation members are members of the Family Mediation Council (FMC) and hold Family Mediation Council Accredited (FMCA) status.

The FMC has asked the Family Mediation Standards Board (FMSB) to review the FMCA accreditation process.

All Family Mediation Accreditation members will temporarily renew their FMCA status directly with the FMC.

This status renewal exercise grants a passported membership through our re-accreditation.

You’ll remain accredited under the Family Mediation Accreditation until the new FMCA standards are in place.
