Mediation is a powerful tool for resolving disputes. The various commissions within the Federal Mediation Commission (FMC) ensure that mediation in Belgium remains fair, professional, and accessible. They play a crucial role in accrediting mediators, ensuring the quality of training, and promoting the development of mediation within specific sectors.
The role of commissions
Each commission has a specific mandate that contributes to a strong mediation landscape. The main tasks are:
- Recognition and oversight of mediators and professional development centres.
- Development of professional guidelines and codes of ethics.
- Processing of complaints and disciplinary proceedings.
- Promotion of mediation across different sectors through expertise and awareness-raising.
