Confidentiality
At the beginning of each course, tutors need to allow time
to consider and formulate an agreement about
confidentiality among group members. In group discussion,
trainees are expected to speak for themselves and not for
colleagues. In written work they should give substitutes
for colleagues' names. In terms of case material any
personal, identifying details of clients will need to be
omitted.
Trainees Commitment
Trainees are responsible for their own learning, including
their participation in class activities. Counselling
training programmes do not constitute counselling and
therapy. Trainees need to maintain a boundary between
material suitable for exploration and discussion within in
group, and material that should be taken to their own
counselling or therapy.
Specific requirements - CSK02 Certificate in
Counselling Skills or equivalent.
