- Training type: Virtual
As social housing providers, many of our customers are vulnerable with support needs, and housing professionals need the skills and behaviours to be able to respond appropriately. But in a fast-paced environment, with often stretched resources, staff can sometimes face the blurred line of where their remit should start and end.
In this interactive online session, we will explore individual challenges with maintaining professional boundaries. We will also consider how the often blurred line, can vary from one person to the next and from one role to the next.
What will I learn?
From this training, you'll learn:
- Explore boundary theory and how to apply this to your job role
- Understand why having boundaries makes everybody safe
- Explore and define the limits of your role and know the importance of having a clear remit
- Why not having clear professional boundaries can lead to complaints, performance and accountability issues
- Understand banter in the workplace and how this can impact on professional boundaries
- How to assist colleagues who experience challenges in maintaining boundaries and how to create feedback mechanisms
- How to tactfully, but assertively, communicate boundaries and professional remit with customers.
