When The Course Is Helpful

This course is for people who have had a concern raised or complaint received in relation to professional boundaries.  It provides information about boundary theory and practice. It is most suitable when the issues are at a local level, such as employer or performers list matters, or when time is short or resources prevent taking the full three-day course. It can also be taken where there is a national regulatory enquiry.  However, please note that this course does not provide the kind of individual attention needed when there is a formal fitness to practice process.

If you are looking for training on professional boundaries and this situation does not apply to you please contact us about the ‘Introduction to Professional Boundaries’ course instead.

FAQ

On each course page you will find a link to register. Click through and you can pay by bank card and register immediately. As payment is made the course place is booked. You will receive a confirmation email with course details and joining instructions, along with a receipt. With the exception of our Introduction to Professional Boundaries course, the confirmation email will ask you to submit some confidential information which will be shared with the course facilitator giving them an understanding of the circumstances that bring you to us so that they can fully support you during the course. For some courses there is some pre-course reading and preparation to do.

We provide Certificates of Completion for all our courses. Some courses have been formally accredited by CPD Standards, which is an internationally recognised accrediting agency and for these a CPD Certificate is issued.  Accreditation is presently being sought for all courses.

Whilst we do not have standard discounts, if financing a course is an issue payments can be split over 2 – 4 months. There are some charitable agencies that provide support to some disciplines – please contact us if you wish to know more. Occasionally, if there is low take-up on a course, we can offer reduced cost places at one weeks’ notice – if this is of interest please contact us to discuss our  terms.

The courses are designed to help with developing insight, reflecting and establishing a plan for remediation/restoration. Openness and engagement are required to get the most from participation. If you have concerns about disclosure we are happy to discuss this with you and would also suggest you discuss this with your representatives.

 

Our one-day courses provide limited time for sharing the context for participation, and individual work. The three-day courses are an intensive space which centres on the possibility of insight, reflection and remediation. Each attendee leaves with a substantive development plan, in line with the issues of concern.  The overall intention is to create a space for insight. The 3-day courses involve individualised conversations, which may be challenging and often involve some vulnerability. They explore ways of being, ways of thinking, attitudes towards vulnerability and authority, power differential, and more. Numbers are limited to 5 which allows the space needed to thoroughly explore the individual’s personal situation.

 

We strongly encourage taking courses at an early stage. This allows time to implement learnings and, as with our 3-day courses, the Development & Restoration Plan and for your actions to show results in a timely way.
