Mission Statement
The Mediators’ Institute of Ireland mission is to lead the continued development and promotion of Mediation services in Ireland. We are committed to raising standards through the continual development of best practice for the best professional Mediators on the island of Ireland.
About This Cause
The Mediators' Institute of Ireland (MII) is founded on our belief in the process of mediation to resolve conflict. We are the leading professional not-for-profit association for Mediators in Ireland. MII protects both the public interest, the interests of professional practicing mediators and promotes the use of mediation in all aspects of society. MII members are fully accredited practicing mediators who have been certified by accredited MII courses. Mediation is as a protector of social justice, supporting alternative ways to resolve disputes other than arbitration and the courts system. Mediation is particularly effective in highly emotive circumstances, when resolution is not simply financial and when parties find it difficult to be listened to and to be heard. Mediation services are provided for families, workplaces, in the community, and within industries. MII partner organizations include Tusla, The Legal Aid Board, The Probation Service and Family Resource Centers. We are thrilled to be awarded Triple Lock status by the Charities Institute of Ireland in November 2024. Out of 11,500 registered charities in Ireland just 350 have been awarded Triple Lock status. The award verifies best practice and the high standards of MII and assures our stakeholders that we are a transparent and trusted organization. At the core of the MII approach to Mediation are the beliefs: that the parties to a dispute are in the best position to resolve it, that given the right circumstances even people entirely alienated from each-other can reach a mediated agreement. That non-mediated, imposed outcomes are not resolutions; imposed outcomes often simply set the scene for further conflict. The necessary aspect of cooperation involved in mediation greatly assist participants in identifying the real issues and arriving at effective solutions. A mediated resolution is a better resolution because the parties in conflict have crafted the solutions themselves. Mediation promotes self-determination and empowerment of the participants. As a participant you are fully engaged and involved in every part of the process. You can find practical and flexible solutions which reflect your needs and the reality of your situation. Having a solution imposed on you by a Judge, Jury or other decision maker will often place you in the position in having to alter your reality to match the outcome rather than the resolution reflecting your reality. It comes down to a simple question; which process do you think will result in an outcome you can live with, one imposed upon you or one you have arrived at through your own efforts and ideas through a negotiated settlement? In mediation, nothing can happen without both parties voluntary and fully informed agreement. In summary the Mediators Institute of Ireland promotes, supports and accredits mediation in Ireland as the person centered solution to resolve conflict.
