The Mediator Standards Board recently released draft amendments to the National Mediator Standards. The new draft standards recognise levels of accreditation, including Advanced Mediator. Resolution Institute has recognised Advanced Mediators for well over a decade.
The new draft Standards require that mediators wishing to apply for accreditation as Advanced Mediators must undertake a 2-day training workshop which focuses on practical skills and self-reflection.
If you wish to apply to join the RI Advanced Mediator panel please join Anne Sutherland for this intensive two-day workshop.
