Mediation Audit 2024

This marks the eleventh occasion on which CEDR has undertaken a survey of the attitudes of civil and commercial mediators on a range of issues concerning the profession. These surveys are aimed at establishing market performance, mediator experience and attitudes towards a variety of ongoing and emerging challenges and opportunities. 
 
The areas we look at include:
 
  • Personal background
  • Mediation practice and experience
  • Professional standards and regulation
  • Priorities for the field in the coming years

The survey is run in collaboration with the Civil Mediation Council (CMC)

It is a critical piece of research to be able to track the development of mediation in the United Kingdom. It is among the only type of survey of its kind in the world and highly regarded among the international dispute resolution community.
