In the last year CALM Scotland has been engaged in a breathless round of discussions with Relationships Scotland and other key stakeholders, including the Scottish Legal Aid Board and the Scottish Government, with the aim of increasing awareness and use of mediation and parenting apart for families experincing separation, divorce or re-structuring.

We are delighted to say now that these discussions have borne a considerable degree of fruit, and that we in the process of finalising efforts to begin a two-year pilot of information meetings around Scotland from April 2017.

Please watch this space, therefore, and in the meantime see below the proposal we are outlining in conjunction with Relationships Scotland.  We welcome any comments on the proposal and value your input and support in developing this project.

So for those following the family mediation updates from CALM Scotland on our social media channels - twiiter, facebook and google+ - this will be old news!

We receive a great many enquiries about how to become a family law mediator in Scotland and a member of CALM Scotland. As the future of family mediation grows brighter every single day, as the government and legal aid board become more and more interested in this amazing method of appropriate dispute resolution, we have a feeling that work in this area is about to explode!
