Mediation Training
Course Accreditation
Successful participants on the course will achieve Accreditation
granted by the School, and may then hold themselves out,
commercially and legally, to be Accredited Mediators.
Recognised & Respected Accreditation
The School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology
accreditation is now widely recognised and respected.
Legal Services Commission
In April 2001, the Legal Services Commission added the SPCP name
to the Legal Services Commission Funding Code Manual, declaring
that mediators accredited by the School (together with certain
other bodies) "will be regarded as suitably qualified and
capable of being funded under [Legal Aid] certificates".
Judicial Studies Board
The Judicial Studies Board has also added the School’s name to
the list of Mediator Providers which is circulated to Judges and
Courts throughout the UK. The Law Society carried out an extensive
“matching exercise” for the purposes of ‘vetting’ the School’s
course, and have granted it full recognition and approval for the
purposes of their Civil/Commercial Mediation Panel. Both the Law
Society and the Bar Council have granted CPD accreditation for the
course.
The Accreditation given by the School is equal to that of
other course providers, and the market is beginning to acknowledge
and appreciate the special qualities and effectiveness of mediators
psychotherapeutically trained by the our
school.
