How the eco system works
The Mediation Agency sits alongside mediator-focused services delivered through the Dispute Resolution Agency and the mediator directory. Together, these brands form a joined-up framework that supports mediators from qualification through to established practice.
-
Clients access mediation through a trusted agency with clear standards and processes.
-
Experienced mediators receive referrals, co-mediation opportunities, and panel visibility.
-
Junior and developing mediators gain exposure to live practice through observations and funded mentoring.
This model protects quality for clients while enabling skills development and progression for mediators.
Panel membership for experienced mediators
The Mediation Agency panel is designed for mediators who are actively practising and able to manage cases independently.
​
Panel mediators typically:
-
Have recognised mediation training and accreditation
-
Maintain professional indemnity insurance
-
Adhere to clear ethical and conduct standards
-
Are open to supporting less experienced practitioners
Panel membership is selective. The aim is not volume, but confidence, consistency, and credibility. Being part of the panel signals that you are ready to deliver mediation at agency level, with appropriate governance and support in place.
What is the Mediation agency?
The Mediation Agency is the delivery arm within the wider Mediator Network Ltd eco system. Its purpose is twofold: to provide high-quality, professionally managed mediation services to clients, and to create meaningful practice opportunities for mediators at different stages of their development.
​
For experienced practitioners, the Mediation Agency offers panel membership, referral opportunities, and co-mediation work. For newer and developing mediators, it creates structured access to observations and funded mentorship. This ensures consistency, quality, and ethical practice across all cases.
Who this is for
The Mediation Agency is particularly suited to:
-
Experienced mediators seeking agency-led work
-
Junior Mediators looking for exposure to live casework
It is not a marketplace or listing site. It is a managed mediation service with clear expectations on quality and conduct.
How it connects to the wider network
Mediator Network Ltd operates an integrated model. The Mediation Agency focuses on delivery, while related brands support training, visibility, and practice development.
​
This separation ensures:
-
No conflict between promotion and case allocation
-
Clear pathways for mediator progression
-
Confidence for clients that mediators are selected on suitability and standards, not marketing spend
Applying to join the panel
Applications to join the Mediation Agency panel are assessed against experience, readiness, and alignment with the Agency’s values. The emphasis is on long-term professional fit rather than short-term capacity.
​
The Mediation Agency exists to strengthen mediation practice, not just deliver cases. By working together across experience levels, the profession becomes more resilient, credible, and effective.
