Abstract

Abstract

This article reports the findings of a study into mediators' perspectives on the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme. The voucher scheme aims to encourage more families to resolve family disputes relating to children through mediation. The study aimed to gather data from mediators to establish how the voucher scheme has impacted rates of participation with mediation and rates of settlement in cases where a voucher was used. It also aimed to gather qualitative data so that the reasons underlying its impact could be ascertained. This article outlines the key themes which emerged from the study and discusses how these findings could impact future policy development.
