Debate: It's Time to Regulate!
Regulating mediators is an international conversation which is characterised by strong views for and against. The conversation is very active in the UK and in the first quarter of 2013 the CMC engage in consultation about the 'if', 'when', 'who' and 'how'.
Questions addressed by the speakers in this podcast include "is a profession really a profession unless it is regulated?", "Will regulation increase confidence in mediation?", "Will regulation increase the use of mediation?", "Is the demand for regulation more about marketing for the mediators and less about what users actually need?" and more.
For the motion: Alan Langleben, mediator
Against the motion: Amanda Bucklow, mediator
Chair: Paul Randolph
The views expressed in the debate are those of the speakers and not the views of the CMC Board.
