The National Mediation Awards 2026
The National Mediation Awards 2026 are the nation’s groundbreaking pan-sector mediation awards. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in December.
As a collaboration between the Civil Mediation Council, College of Mediators, and Family Mediation Council, this prestigious ceremony has been organised to celebrate excellence amongst commercial, civil, family and community mediators, mediation trainers and providers.
As membership organisations for mediators from all sectors, all three organisers are committed to setting and maintaining professional standards for mediators, increasing awareness of mediation, promoting it as the first port of call for dispute resolution and extending its use more widely.
They welcome the opportunity presented by The National Mediation Awards to:
- Raise the profile of mediation and mediators
- Demonstrate collaboration between mediation organisations to promote and develop the field of mediation
- Highlight excellent mediation practice and shine a spotlight on the mediation profession
- Ensure diversity and inclusion matters are an intrinsic part of mediation
