Boundaries Training
Professional boundaries are established through a set of behaviours and are given meaning through personal attitude and experience. They have been described as a 'safe connection with a client that allows for work to take place'. Developing a depth understanding of boundaries alongside the skills needed to prevent harm to people using services is the goal of all our boundaries training.
All our courses come with access to a specially designed, password protected, online area. Access includes:
· course materials
· relevant articles
· pre-course questionnaire
· 'ask the Clinic' feature
· interactive exercise
· handouts
· course schedule
Why choose to train with the Clinic?
The Clinic is the only organisation in the UK that works with all professional groups, and with people affected by boundary violations as victims and as perpetrators. We are informed by the evidence base on work in this field and our staff and faculty between them have the most extensive experience of work in this field in the UK. The Clinic provides the most comprehensive range of courses about professional boundaries in the UK.

How will I know if a course is appropriate for the needs of my organisation?
We will work with you when planning your course to ensure that it meets your specific needs. All you have to do is to tell us about your organisation, your goals for the training and the existing level of knowledge and we will ensure that the course is pitched at the correct level. Courses are always developed in close liaison with the people commissioning them; we use a series of core sessions along with tailored or bespoke sessions. We develop new sessions as needed and aim to provide training that is geared for the needs of participants
