EMIN aims to promote Elder Mediation and inspire excellence in its practice throughout the world. Our Code of Ethics for Elder Mediators has a key role to play in educating people about Elder Mediation and ensuring the highest ethical and professional standards in our work. Our goal is to have the Code translated into as many languages as possible so that families throughout the world can find out about and benefit from Elder Mediation. To date the Code has been translated from English into French, German and Mandarin. It is a living document which is under frequent scrutiny to ensure that it remains responsive to the needs of seniors worldwide.
Elder Mediation is a dynamic field of practice that is growing and developing in different jurisdictions throughout the world. The EMIN Code of Ethics (the Code) has been, and continues to be, informed by the knowledge and experience of mediators, individuals and organisations working with issues of ageing in different jurisdictions and cultures. In these challenging times, there is a great need for skilled, person-centred support for individuals, families and care providers to constructively address issues and/or concerns so as to enhance the quality of life and wellness of the older person(s), while respecting the needs of each participant.
– Margaret Bouchier, Chairperson, EMIN Ethics Committee, March 2021
