South Carolina Notice to All Mediators is a legal document issued by the South Carolina Commission on Dispute Resolution Services (SCARS) to notify any potential mediator of their rights and responsibilities as a mediator in the state. The document explains the qualifications and training required to become a mediator, as well as the different types of mediation practices that are allowed in the state. It also outlines the standards of practice that mediators must adhere to and the sanctions that may be imposed for failure to do so. The South Carolina Notice to All Mediators document comes in two types: the initial Notice and the updated Notice. The initial Notice serves to inform potential mediators of their rights and responsibilities, as well as the different types of mediation that are allowed in the state. The updated Notice is issued annually and includes any changes or additions to the initial Notice, such as new standards of practice or changes to the sanctions imposed for failure to comply.
