Boundaries & Safeguarding
We take our duty of care seriously. In addition to the above, our coaches commit to:
Directing you to your GP and/or Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) if additional needs are identified e.g. counselling or therapy. In this case the coaching may be paused whilst therapeutic support is sought.
Being aware of their own level of professional competence and not straying into areas where you might already be working with another qualified professional e.g. counsellor or therapist.
Maintaining confidentiality at all times. The only exception to this is where you make a disclosure that gives your coach sufficient reason to believe you or others may be at risk of harm. If this were to happen, we have a responsibility to make your Line Manager or Sponsor aware so that the relevant support can be sought.
