Safety procedure Looking after yourself on the course It is important to recognise that this course covers material which you may find emotionally upsetting. Your self-care is important and your safety throughout is our priority. Don’t do or say anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. In the live session, if you feel that you need to step away at any point, please use the Q&A function to privately message the instructor so that they can provide you with support. The instructor will be in touch with you during a break or after the session. You can step out of the session in this way at any time. If you need to take more than a 10–15 minute break from the session, or you will not be rejoining the session, please let the instructor know. We would also like you to identify someone who could potentially support you during or after the course if you need it.
