Mediation schemes reviewed
The public's appetite for Alternative Dispute Resolution is
greater than ever. The expense, investment of time involved in
court proceedings and the courts greater enthusiasm for exploring
the possibilities of ADR ensure the continued growth in this
sector.
Those opting for mediation as a means of dispute resolution require
assurance as to the quality of the service being provided.
The Society operates two recognised mediation schemes:

Mediators and
Commercial Law Mediation with around 5 Accredited
Mediators.
The period of accreditation for both specialisms has been
standardised at three years.
