Maintaining Professional Boundaries

In this workshop, participants will;
-
explore and clarify the boundary issues and risks associated with providing professional services and care
-
clarify the difference between boundary crossings, incursions and violations
-
recognise and explore common, obvious and more subtle forms of boundary crossing
-
explore the foreseeable impact of boundary transgressions on staff and on others in relation to Duty of Care.
-
explore ways to reduce the likelihood of boundary transgressions and violations, and how to respond if they do occur.
-
explore and develop insight into the ‘system’ and personality factors which may contribute to boundary problems
-
have the opportunity to review the policies of their own organisations where these exist (in-house presentations only)
