MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
In April 2008 SCMA and ADR Group announced a working partnership for the promotion of mediation advocacy, training and events for the benefit of members and intended members of both organisations. ADR Group will participate in the SCMA Launch in Liverpool on 22nd July 2008, an event being hosted by Exchange Chambers Mediation Service. Full details will appear on our SCMA Training and Education Page.
SCMA and ADR Group are keen to address the need to grow mediation advocacy in the market place as a specialist skill, and to establish a quality threshold for those representing parties at mediation. We believe such a threshold is both necessary for mediation consumers and should be integral to the process itself. Representatives who have appropriate and necessary skills increase the chances of mediation succeeding to the mutual satisfaction of all concerned. Conversely those who do not understand the process, or lawyers who pay only lip service to its potential for immense time and cost savings, do themselves and their clients a disservice. They undermine the potential for settlement, as the market has come to recognise.
By their partnership arrangement members of ADR Group will have the opportunity to extend their skills and position in the mediation market, and members of SCMA will have the benefit of working with a long standing and highly respected leader in the provision of mediation services and training.
Under this arrangement ADR Group offer SCMA members the benefit of a 10% discount on existing and future ADR GROUP training courses.
SCMA offer all ADR GROUP individual or corporate mediator members
(a) Full or Charter Corporate Membership of SCMA free for the remainder of the calendar year 2008 insofar as ADR Group members meet the SCMA full member criteria (see menu SCMA/Membership)
(b) 10% discount on SCMA training courses and materials insofar as they are not free to members.
In addition ADR Group Training/CPD are recognised as a qualifying activity for SCMA membership and CPD requirements.
For further details of this important development please call Andrew Goodman (SCMA) on 0207 092 2924 or Michael Lind (ADR Group) on 0117 946 4603. This is the first of a number of partering arrangements by which SCMA are negotiating member benefits with outside organisations.
