The Board is supported by the Excellence Committee and ad-hoc Board groups designed to deliver Scottish Mediation’s objectives.
The Committee for Excellence:
The Committee for Excellence in Mediation acts on behalf of the Scottish Mediation Board in the encouragement of excellence in mediation practice and in growing and strengthening Scottish Mediation membership and the mediation community.
The Committee provides assurance to the SMN Board
- as to the appropriate standards of professional conduct and training for admission to and maintenance on the Scottish Mediation Register,
- as to the quality standards appropriate to Scottish Mediation Network projects established to promote the use of mediation across Scottish public life
- that effective recruitment and retention systems exist to support membership of the Network and
- that a focus on the needs of the consumers of mediation (the parties) is reflected in the way in which mediation standards are shaped, the training and CDP provided for mediators and in the way that SMN deals with concerns and complaints arising from the practice of mediation.
