We have group sessions where you can be part of our community but please follow our rules

We love it when our participants engage with us and each other during the Course. However, we do have some rules that we ask everyone to follow.

Firstly, we ask that you be respectful to your fellow participants. We want to maintain a positive and supportive learning environment for everyone, so please refrain from any disruptive or disrespectful behaviour. If you do become disruptive or disrespectful, we may need to exclude you from the group sessions or events to ensure that everyone else can continue learning and engaging in a safe and respectful environment.

Also, please don’t directly contact other participants without their consent. Any interactions with other participants are solely at your own risk. We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe during the Course, so please be mindful of others' boundaries and privacy.

Acknowledgements you make in relation to privacy and confidentiality

We understand that during the group sessions, you and others may share personal or sensitive information. We want to ensure that everyone feels safe and supported, so we ask that you keep all information shared during the sessions confidential and not share it outside the group.

We also kindly ask that you do not record any group sessions, as this could compromise the confidentiality and privacy of all participants. Rest assured, we take your privacy seriously and we will not disclose any Confidential Information unless we are required to by law. You can find more information about how we handle personal information in our Privacy Policy.

We want to remind you that while we encourage confidential communication, we cannot guarantee that the delivery of our Course and any Materials will be completely secure.

To ensure this, we kindly ask that you do not post any content that could be deemed inappropriate or offensive, such as anything that is threatening or abusive.
