Mediation - still need consent order?

I have posted this here and in the divorce thread hoping to find someone who may know the answer.
Me and my stbxh are going through mediation. She has said that the agreement we come to can go to court for approval and that we would not need a consent order.
Is this correct? If we worded it that way could we have a clean break settlement so neither of us could make any future claims? It is such a minefield, thanks in advance for your help

She is correct that once you reach agreement you need to get it turned into a consent order. If it is correctly worded that will ensure that neither of you can come back for more later.

Sorry, I misread the original post. The agreement can form the basis of a consent order. It does not replace a consent order. I agree with Fuckitfay that you need to get the order drafted by a solicitor.
