“Thought provoking and genuine. Didn’t give in to the temptation to tick boxes or be idealistic.”
This session for staff is designed to explore a range of topics in relation to boundaries; including the range of boundaries that may be held by students, how to recognise them in others, and why it’s crucial to respect them. The session will also look at how you can collectively make small changes to create a safer, more inclusive learning environment for everyone.
