A structured way to think through what you’ll say before you sit down with an accredited mediator.
A MIAM — Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting — is the meeting most people in England and Wales are expected to attend before applying to family court. It is run by an accredited family mediator, lasts under an hour in most cases, and is the moment where you and the mediator decide whether mediation is the right next step.
People walk into MIAMs at very different levels of readiness. Some have been turning the situation over for months; others booked the meeting the day before. The mediators we have spoken to consistently say the same thing: the conversations go better when people have already worked out, on their own, what they actually want to say.
Describe the situation in your own words. No forms, no jargon.
Meedi8 asks the questions that help you find where you stand and what matters most.
Leave with a written summary of your position — useful to bring to the MIAM itself.
Your conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t read or monitor your sessions — access is restricted to authorised staff and used only when needed to run or support the service. Whenever a support agent opens your session content in our admin console, it’s recorded in an audit log, including who accessed it, when, and the reason given.
To respond to you, a third-party AI service reads what you write — it’s never used to train AI models, and never sold.

Meedi8 is not a Family Mediation Council (FMC) accredited mediator. We do not conduct MIAMs and we are not a substitute for one.
For your MIAM you will need an accredited mediator. You can find one through the Family Mediation Council directory.
Meedi8 is a structured-conversation tool. We help you think through what you would like to say, work out where you stand, and walk into your MIAM with more clarity. The MIAM itself happens with your registered mediator. Nothing said to Meedi8 is legal advice.
