Introduction

It is detrimental to mediation as a means of resolving disputes and as an emerging industry if UK mediators are unable to demonstrate a commitment to achieving the very highest standard of quality and excellence. Purchasers and users of mediation services are right to question what training mediators have, how competent they are and what professional development activities they undertake. The PMA provides full answers to both of these questions.

• Join a thriving community of likeminded professional mediators
• Benefit from lobbying work undertaken by the PMA for its members
• Benefit from one-off promotions and other opportunities as the PMA grows
