The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has become the first industry organisation to provide accreditation in adjudication.
Neil Burton, chair of the CIOB’s Dispute Resolution Programme Committee, said: “Adjudication is proving to be very complex and the consumers of the process need to know that those they are instructing are sufficiently experienced to handle what is involved.
“The CIOB process of initial accreditation and a bi-annual review to retain accreditation will mean that the CIOB Accredited in Adjudication qualification sets and maintains high standards for those involved in disputes.”
