Arkansas Administrative Code › Agency 187 - Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission › Rule 187.00.07-001 - Minimum Standards for Basic Mediation Training

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
INTRODUCTION
The Arkansas Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission has issued
			 the following curriculum standards to help insure consistent, quality training
			 for mediators in Arkansas. These guidelines apply to a basic 40 hour mediation
			 course. Additional topic and skills areas apply to a 20 or 40 hour family
			 mediation course.
The primary purpose of these standards is to assure that training
			 courses approved by the Commission train mediators for a specific purpose: to
			 handle cases referred to mediation from the Circuit Courts of Arkansas. As
			 such, role plays should be geared to issues that would be heard in the Courts
			 and special consideration should be given to working within that
			 context.
Training courses meeting these minimum standards are the starting
			 point for a beginning mediator. As with other professions, ongoing training and
			 mediation experience are necessary components to becoming a truly competent
			 mediator. A mediator who has completed a course offering these beginning and
			 minimum standards should not automatically be considered a competent
			 mediator.
The Arkansas Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission
			 understands that nationally accepted standards for mediation training do not
			 exist at this time. The Commission has accumulated and evaluated commonly used
			 training guidelines regarding mediation theory, knowledge, and skills in order
			 to compile these standards. The Commission retains the right and expectation to
			 update these standards as the mediation field matures and the Commission sees
			 fit.
There are nine minimum areas of information which must be covered
			 in a basic 40-hour training program:
1.
History of
		  Mediation
.
Rationale: Mediation has evolved over
		  time and continues to evolve today, trainees need an understanding of the
		  historical perspective.
2.
Overview of ADR Legislation in Arkansas
.
Rationale: Trainees must be introduced to the key aspects of
		  legislation that have relevance to the practice of mediation in order to be
		  able to comply with relevant legal requirements.
3.
Conflict
		  Resolution Theory
. Rationale: This information
		  must help trainees differentiate between mediation and other forms of dispute
		  resolution.
Topics which must be included in this area are:
a. Definition, types of, and responses to
		  conflict
b. Dispute resolution
		  continuum
c. Win/win collaborative
		  problem solving

Arkansas Administrative Code › Agency 187 - Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission › Rule 187.00.12-002 - Requirements for the Certification of Mediators for Arkansas Circuit Courts

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
The Requirements for the Conduct of Mediation and
			 Mediators
have three primary goals:
1) serve as a guide for the conduct of
		  mediators;
2) inform the mediating
		  parties; and
3) instill public
		  confidence in the mediation process
I.
INTRODUCTION
These requirements serve as the foundation for the conduct of
			 mediators practicing in the state of Arkansas. They set out standards of
			 behavior for mediators in relationship to the parties in dispute, fellow
			 mediators, and the citizens of Arkansas.
These requirements are not a comprehensive list of the ethical
			 considerations which should guide the conduct of a mediator. However, they are
			 framework for the ethical practice of mediation.
Violation of
The Requirements for the Conduct of
			 Mediation and Mediators
may result in disqualification from the
			 Commission's Roster of Mediators.
II
SCOPE, DEFINITION, MEDIATOR'S ROLE, GENERAL PRINCIPLES, AND
		  EFFECTIVE DATE
A.
Scope.
The Requirements set out in this document shall apply to all mediators included
		  on the Arkansas Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission's Roster of
		  Mediators. The Commission recommends that all mediators practicing in the state
		  of Arkansas adhere to these requirements.
B.
Definition of Mediation.
Mediation is a dispute settlement process in which a neutral third party
		  assists disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. The
		  mediator may suggest alternatives, but does not create an agreement for, or
		  impose an agreement on, the parties. Mediation is a non-adversarial process in
		  which the objective is the encouragement and facilitation of a mutually
		  acceptable agreement based on the parties self-determined needs, interests, and
		  values.
C.
Mediator's Role.
In mediation, decision-making authority rests with the disputing
		  parties. The role of the mediator includes, but is not limited to, assisting
		  the disputing parties in identifying issues, facilitating communication,
		  focusing the disputing parties on their interests maximizing the exploration of
		  alternatives, and helping the disputing parties reach voluntary agreements. The
		  mediator may offer options for the parties to consider as settlement terms, but
		  is not to judge or impose settlement terms on the parties.
D.
General Principles.
Mediation
		  is based on principles of communication, negotiation, facilitation, and the
		  technique or method of solving problems. It emphasizes:
(1.) The needs and interests of the disputing
		  parties;
(2.) Fairness and the
		  merits of the issues as defined by the parties;
(3.) Procedural flexibility;
(4.) Privacy and confidentiality;
(5.) Full disclosure; and
(6.) Self-determination.

Benefits of the Proposed Rule or
	 Regulation
1.
Explain the need for the proposed change(s). Did any complaints motivate
  you to pursue regulatory action? If so, please explain the nature of such
  complaints.
No complaints motivated the proposed changes. The two changes we are
	 requesting will be referred to throughout this document as
A
&
B.
A) We are requesting
  that the current Rules be updated to reference the most recent version of the
  Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the American Society of Home
  Inspectors which have been used by the profession since 2006 rather than the
  2001 Standards currently referenced.
B) We are also requesting that our Rules be
  changed to formally implement a graduated scale of late registration fees
  rather than collecting the entire $250 maximum penalty as currently stated in
  the Rules. The Board feels that the imposition of a $250 penalty for late
  submission of registration renewal materials is excessive.

1.0
Purpose
This document presents a framework through which Arkansas'
			 agencies, boards, commissions, and institutions of higher education can
			 classify data and systems across the two spectrums of (1) data sensitivity and
			 (2) data and system criticality. Once data is classified by the agency or
			 institution of higher education, then appropriate security measures can be
			 applied.

This standard statement applies to all state agencies, boards,
			 commissions and institutions of higher education.

Background
The Arkansas Information Systems Act of 1997 (Act 914, 1997)

			 policies and procedures to manage the information resources within the state.
			 This is accomplished through work with a multi-agency working group known as
			 the Shared Technical Architecture Team.
In addition, Act 1042 of 2001 states that the Executive Chief
			 Information Officer oversees the development of information technology security
			 policy for state agencies. The State Security Office, under the state's
			 Executive Chief Information Officer, defines an environment for strategic
			 security architecture and sets security standards and policies for information
			 technology in state government. In order to apply appropriate security
			 measures, data must first be classified to determine its sensitivity and
			 required availability.

Purpose
Spyware poses a significant threat to publicly-owned computers
			 attached to the Internet due to its malicious nature. Spyware is capable of
			 stealing information from computers, changing computer settings, logging
			 keystrokes, and other nefarious actions without the user's knowledge.
			 Oftentimes, antivirus software does not block spyware from infecting computers
			 and, for this reason, technology must be used to detect, prevent, and clean
			 spyware from machines. Arkansas government collects personal information and
			 this information must be protected from disclosure.
