Appendix A. Codes of Professional Conduct for Mediators
2. Mediation is an informal process of resolving a dispute with the assistance of a mediator. Mediation carries ethical responsibilities and duties. Those who act as mediators must be dedicated to the principle that all disputants have a right to negotiate and attempt to determine the outcomes of their own conflicts. In addition, mediators are bound by the ethical guidelines of this code, which specify their duties and obligations to parties who engage their services, to the mediation process, to other mediators, to the agencies which administer programs of mediation, and to the general public.
(3) Under the Protective Services for the Elderly Act of 1977 (Title 43A Section 801 et seq.), and Title 21, Section 846 which deals with persons under age eighteen, the mediator is responsible for reporting information to the proper agencies upon learning that any elderly or handicapped person or child has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him or her, by other than accidental means, where the injury appears to have been caused as a result of physical abuse or neglect.
