Oregon Mediation Association: Standards of Practice Oregon Mediation Association: Standards of Practice. In 1997, the Oregon Mediation Association (OMA) Board of Directors charged the OMA Professional Ethics Committee with reviewing the existing OMA Standards of Mediation Practice to recommend appropriate changes in light of changes in the field of mediation since the adoption of the original standards in 1988. After more than two years of work, including studying of other standards, and several dialogues with the OMA Board and the membership, the Professional Ethics Committee has developed the attached set of draft Core Standards of Mediation Practice.

Privacy Why we ask Final Draft - June 16, 2000 PREAMBLE These Standards of Mediation Practice are intended to guide the conduct of mediators in Oregon, to educate participants about appropriate mediator behaviors, and to promote public confidence in mediation as a process for resolving disputes. Each member of the Oregon Mediation Association must agree to abide by these Standards when serving as a mediator. Every mediator is responsible for conducting mediations in a manner that promotes trust in the process and in the integrity and competence of mediators. These Standards are based on core values applicable to all mediators, recognize mediation as a separate profession, and focus on mediator behaviors. They apply to all types, styles, and contexts of mediation. The Standards do not attempt to define "best practice" or to reflect the variety of appropriate practices which continue to develop in the various contexts in which mediation is practiced.
