SCMN

Sacro is the administrative body for the Scottish Community Mediation Network (SCMN). Established in 1996, the SCMN represents all community mediation services across Scotland. A complete list of community mediation services can be found here.

 

Different models of service provision exist in Scotland. These range from independent specialist charities, to in-house local authority mediation services. All models, however, share a basic requirement that mediators work with the public in a safe, effective and efficient way. SCMN are an ‘approved body’ for the purpose of the Scottish Mediation Register.

Members of the SCMN meet online every four months. These meetings are a popular opportunity for mediators and service managers to keep up to date with developments in Scottish mediation, exchange information and share learning.

The SCMN run three accreditation schemes for:

• community mediation services
• mediators
• training providers
