CEDR Mediation Guidelines

The CEDR Mediation Guidelines are a set of best practices that help ensure mediation—an informal, voluntary process for resolving disputes—is fair, effective, and professional. They outline how mediators should conduct sessions, maintain neutrality, promote open communication, and respect confidentiality. The guidelines also emphasize transparency, ethical behavior, and the importance of creating a constructive environment where both parties can collaborate to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Overall, they serve as a standard to ensure mediation is carried out consistently and ethically, fostering trust and positive outcomes for everyone involved.
