I was going to go to The Separation and Divorce Resource Centre in Ottawa for mediation. I read the below statement on their website.....
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Ethical & Accountable Practice
Our major area of practice is Mediation. Currently, there is no national regulatory body in Canada. Yet, adhering to a code of ethics via mediation's accreditation bodies is essential. Our practitioners all follow a CODE OF ETHICS: as designated via their professional membership bodies. We are dedicated to a process of accountability within our own work. Our continuous learning with in our own fields enhances innovative solutions for clients."

This is funny....I phoned the Ontario College of Mediators and was told Diane Valiquette has not paid her dues and is not a member in good standing. I'm not even sure if this women has the proper insurance for mediation. Not sure why she has this write up in posted on her website. There are no accredited mediators working at the Separation and Divorce Resource Centre. Diane Valiquette says mediation's accreditation bodies is essential...but yet she herself is not Accredited!!!!!!!!!!!
Please go to these website to find an Accredited mediator....

Make sure your mediator is Accredited and has E & O Liability Insurance (Errors and Omissions) of at least $1,000,000.
NOTE: ANYONE in Ontario can call themselves a mediator, Diane Valiquette states this on her website ...yet...she is not ACCREDITED!
