Our mission is to support professionals to be safe with their clients, colleagues and the public through training and education.
We aim to help people be safe through providing a powerful space for reflection and insight. We work to raise awareness and responsibility and to promote change.
We exist to help people work in line with their values and commitments through awareness of boundaries, value-ethics and listening.
We work to keep professional relationships safe from avoidable harm and to maintain the integrity of the relationship and we work to help remediate them following a breach.
We work wherever there is service being provided, including in healthcare or social work, in therapy, ministry, education, the criminal justice system and financial or corporate environments.
We provide a space where people can transform their experience and powerfully align with their core values.
Awareness is the entry point to all change. Without awareness no change is possible. With awareness problems can be handled and remedied.
Creativity is core to our way of being in service delivery, with a continued focus on effective ways of working.
We are open and transparent in our work, with nothing about our professional practice, values or beliefs being hidden
Integrity means being true to our word. We deliver what we say we will deliver, within the limits of our service, knowledge and skills.
We know that everyone has the capacity to take actions which are in line with their values and commitments, and that everyone can sustain change.
At the heart of our work is the understanding that without well-being, nothing works. Without attention to individual needs, things are more likely to go wrong.
Our approach is that of complete responsibility for actions and behaviours as a central access point to accountability and change.
Being open to accountability is a critical part of moving forward after a problem.
Respect is intrinsic to our approach to our work and is a touchstone for successful participation in our courses.
