About external Complaint Handling
Mediation Institute provides external complaint handling services for members.
We also offer contracted service for organisations who require or would like independent complaint handling as part of their dispute resolution process.
What is external complaint handling for Mediators?
It is a process of:
- Acceptance of complaints about a mediator
- Evaluation of the complaint to determine if it relates to their ethical and legal obligations
- Determine the appropriate response to the complaint
- If the complaint is valid and requires further action determine what action is appropriate after investigating the complaint
