Using helpful and relevant scenarios and best practice examples this course will enable staff to define the ‘limits’ of their roles and understand the need for, and benefits of, clear, professional boundaries.
Are your staff able to operate within clear, professional boundaries? Do they understand the risks of ‘crossing’ those boundaries? Are they able to find the right balance between ‘compassion’ and maintaining a professional distance?
If these questions have started you thinking, then this course is for you and your staff.
If your organisation is to deliver a high quality, professional service, clear boundaries are essential. Professional boundaries outline an effective and appropriate interaction between housing professionals and their customers.
The ‘boundaries’ exist to protect both parties. Staff must understand the nature and limits of their roles and be able to recognise ‘grey areas’, where they may be at ‘risk’ of crossing the line.
Using helpful and relevant scenarios and best practice examples this course will enable staff to define the ‘limits’ of their roles and understand the need for, and benefits of, clear, professional boundaries.
