About our charity
Oxfordshire Family Mediation (OFM) works with separated families to promote the mental & physical welfare of children. Our projects aim to facilitate parents & others to consider children’s needs first & to enable their voices to be heard. We’re committed to meeting the needs of these children in a variety of ways. Over 35% of children are affected by family breakdown by the age of 16. The adversarial system often escalates conflict between parents, which can be damaging for children. Parenting is never an easy task: it’s even more complicated & delicate when you don’t live with the other parent & emotions are raw. <p> Mediation works to enable families to manage these difficult situations in the most helpful way for all. It helps parents keep the conversations on track, slowing it down to make sure they have all the information they need, have heard how each other see the issues, & weigh the pros and cons of different options. By protecting parents from pressure/judgement we successfully provide space for them to find solutions in a creative way. <p> Around 19,000 children have benefited directly from our Mediation Service & Children’s Service, with many children benefiting directly or indirectly from our Schools Training Programme, our Walking on Eggshells Project for school students & our Parenting Apart Workshops. <p> OFM is a professional service: all mediators are highly experienced, qualified, trained & accredited by the Legal Services Commission.
