Essex Mediation claims hundreds of voucher for Clients over 5 years

The government has recently agreed to extend mediation voucher scheme in 2027  which is a welcome and timely step for families navigating separation. The voucher covers £500 of the mediation cost , which with  our fee structure covers the first meeting and most of the second meeting , if necessary. 

By reducing the financial barrier to mediation, the scheme encourages a more constructive, less adversarial approach to resolving disputes—particularly where children are involved. Mediation not only helps participants reach agreements faster, but also promotes better long-term communication and outcomes.

At a time when court backlogs remain a challenge, investing in early, collaborative resolution is a smart move. Extending this support signals a continued commitment to easing pressure on the courts while prioritising the wellbeing of families. A positive development all round!
