A public register has been launched for practising family mediators. The Family Mediation Council launched the Family Mediation Standards Board (FMSB)—an independent regulatory board with a central registration system for mediators—this week.
The FMSB will be composed of three family mediators and three independent persons, and will be chaired by Robert Creighton, a retired NHS chief executive and former civil servant.
The registry aims to protect the public against poor practice and provide recognition and support for registered family mediators. Registration is voluntary, and the register will be available to the public and practitioners alike from November 2015.
Creighton says: “It is in everyone’s interests that professional self-regulation should be effective and forward-looking, reinforcing public confidence in the role and contribution of family mediators.”
