ADR Group adheres to the Civil Mediation Council’s (CMC’s) European Code of Conduct for Mediators.

EUROPEAN CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MEDIATORS This code of conduct sets out a number of principles to which individual mediators can voluntarily decide to commit, under their own responsibility. It is intended to be applicable to all kinds of mediation in civil and commercial matters. Organisations providing mediation services can also make such a commitment, by asking mediators acting under the auspices of their organisation to respect the code. Organisations have the opportunity to make available information on the measures they are taking to support the respect of the code by individual mediators through, for example, training, evaluation and monitoring. For the purposes of the code mediation is defined as any process where two or more parties agree to the appointment of a third-party – hereinafter “the mediator” - to help the parties to solve a dispute by reaching an agreement without adjudication and regardless of how that process may be called or commonly referred to in each Member State. Adherence to the code is without prejudice to national legislation or rules regulating individual professions. Organisations providing mediation services may wish to develop more detailed codes adapted to their specific context or the types of mediation services they offer, as well as with regard to specific areas such as family mediation or consumer mediation. European Code of Conduct for Mediators 1. COMPETENCE AND APPOINTMENT OF MEDIATORS 1.1 Competence Mediators shall be competent and knowledgeable in the process of mediation. Relevant factors shall include proper training and continuous updating of their education and practice in mediation skills, having regard to any relevant standards or accreditation schemes. 1.2 Appointment The mediator will confer with the parties regarding suitable dates on which the mediation may take place. The mediator shall satisfy him/herself as to his/her background and competence to conduct the mediation before accepting the appointment and, upon request, disclose information concerning his/her background and experience to the parties. 1.3 Advertising/promotion of the mediator’s services Mediators may promote their practice, in a professional, truthful and dignified way. 2. INDEPENDENCE AND IMPARTIALITY 2.1 Independence and neutrality

3. Code of Practice

www.adrgroup.co.uk


The mediator must not act, or, having started to do so, continue to act, before having disclosed any circumstances that may, or may be seen to, affect his or her independence or conflict of interests. The duty to disclose is a continuing obligation throughout the process. Such circumstances shall include - any personal or business relationship with one of the parties, - any financial or other interest, direct or indirect, in the outcome of the mediation, or - the mediator, or a member of his or her firm, having acted in any capacity other than mediator for one of the parties. In such cases the mediator may only accept or continue the mediation provided that he/she is certain of being able to carry out the mediation with full independence and neutrality in order to guarantee full impartiality and that the parties explicitly consent. 2.2 Impartiality The mediator shall at all times act, and endeavour to be seen to act, with impartiality towards the parties and be committed to serve all parties equally with respect to the process of mediation. 3. THE MEDIATION AGREEMENT, PROCESS, SETTLEMENT AND FEES 3.1 Procedure The mediator shall satisfy himself/herself that the parties to the mediation understand the characteristics of the mediation process and the role of the mediator and the parties in it. The mediator shall in particular ensure that prior to commencement of the mediation the parties have understood and expressly agreed the terms and conditions of the mediation agreement including in particular any applicable provisions relating to obligations of confidentiality on the mediator and on the parties. The mediation agreement shall, upon request of the parties, be drawn up in writing. The mediator shall conduct the proceedings in an appropriate manner, taking into account the circumstances of the case, including possible power imbalances and the rule of law, any wishes the parties may express and the need for a prompt settlement of the dispute. The parties shall be free to agree with the mediator, by reference to a set of rules or otherwise, on the manner in which the mediation is to be conducted. The mediator, if he/she deems it useful, may hear the parties separately. 3.2 Fairness of the process The mediator shall ensure that all parties have adequate opportunities to be involved in the process. The mediator if appropriate shall inform the parties, and may terminate the mediation, if: - a settlement is being reached that for the mediator appears unenforceable or illegal, having regard to the circumstances of the case and the competence of the mediator for making such an assessment, or - the mediator considers that continuing the mediation is unlikely to result in a settlement. 3.3 The end of the process

www.adrgroup.co.uk


The mediator shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that any understanding is reached by all parties through knowing and informed consent, and that all parties understand the terms of the agreement. The parties may withdraw from the mediation at any time without giving any justification. The mediator may, upon request of the parties and within the limits of his or her competence, inform the parties as to how they may formalise the agreement and as to the possibilities for making the agreement enforceable. 3.4 Fees Where not already provided, the mediator must always supply the parties with complete information on the mode of remuneration which he intends to apply. He/she shall not accept a mediation before the principles of his/her remuneration have been accepted by all parties concerned. 4. CONFIDENTIALITY The mediator shall keep confidential all information, arising out of or in connection with the mediation, including the fact that the mediation is to take place or has taken place, unless compelled by law or public policy grounds. Any information disclosed in confidence to mediators by one of the parties shall not be disclosed to the other parties without permission or unless compelled by law.

ADR Group adheres to the practice and standards set out by Civil Mediation Council (CMC). Practice and Standards All Mediators All mediators must have observed or conducted at least two civil and commercial or workplace mediations in the 12 months prior to his/her membership renewal in order to ensure that he/she has current practice experience. This mediation practice requirement can be met by substituting two simulated mediation practice sessions* of at least 1 hour each, or one community mediation, or two telephone mediations for one of the two actual or observed mediations that are required. Where a panel mediator is on maternity leave or long term sickness absence, this period may be extended to 18 months. *Please note that the ADR Group requires its members joining/renewing for the Panel to have observed two live mediations and cannot substitute this for simulated mediations. If you have not met this requirement then the ADR Group will arrange your observations. Newly Trained Mediators Newly trained mediators must have observed at least three civil or commercial mediations over the last 12 months before they are eligible for appointment as a lead mediator. One of these observations may be of a role-play nature. (Please note that the ADR Group expects its members joining the Panel to observe three live mediations and can substitute one of these for a role play). Continued Professional Development The CMC requires that all Panel and Registered members should undertake at least six hours of mediation-specific CPD per annum in addition to the practice requirements These hours may include: a) courses offering practical role plays; b) attendance at seminars, conferences, tutorials and debates on mediation; c) writing articles on mediation; d) presenting mediation training, seminars or similar events. Reading articles, mentoring and supervising mediators and preparing for mediation will not suffice. So long as the hours are devoted to mediation-specific topics, CPD hours need not be dependent on recognition by a professional body.
