Maintaining professional boundaries

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.
