Introducing the CMC’s Interpersonal Mediation Training Guidelines
Introducing the CMC’s Interpersonal Mediation Training Guidelines
We’re delighted to announce an important development for the Civil Mediation Council (CMC) and the wider mediation community.
For the first time, the CMC is introducing Interpersonal Mediation Training Guidelines, expanding opportunities beyond the existing training pathways for civil, commercial and workplace mediators.
These new guidelines will open the door for those passionate about supporting mediation in a broader range of settings, including:
• Community mediation
• Academic and educational settings
• Clinical and healthcare environments
The changes also create new opportunities for conversion between civil, commercial, workplace and interpersonal mediation training, offering greater flexibility and choice for mediators and training providers alike.
Crucially, those who train solely as interpersonal mediators will now be able to join the CMC and progress through our membership pathway. This reinforces the CMC’s position as an inclusive professional body, supporting mediators working across a diverse range of specialisms.
‘We would like to thank our training providers for their collaboration and valuable contributions to the consultation process. We look forward to supporting those developing these new courses and welcoming a new generation of interpersonal mediators into the CMC community.’
Victoria Harris – CMC, CEO
