Let’s talk about…Boundaries and Consent

Let's talk about...Boundaries and Consent

Issues of boundaries and consent are frequently asked about by members. When things go wrong, and complaints are made, issues of boundaries and consent are often involved. Understanding boundaries can also enable us to be more effective practitioners and deal with challenging situations.

Running from May to August, this campaign will help you refresh and update your knowledge and skills in this area.

You will find resources and webinar recordings on this page. Watch out in enews for upcoming live webinars and notifications of when new resources are available.
