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.
