SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO BEAR IN MIND
When powerful feelings are revealed and processed, it is not unusual that our own psychological issues are triggered and flow into the mix.  Wilfred Bion is a respected name in the world of group working. He wrote extensively and cogently on issues that invariably occur in groups. We would like to agree basic guidelines with you – based on his findings – to ensure the success of our work together. Bion’s central focus was the disruption (he called it ‘resistance’) that may arise within a group that shifts it away from its agreed task.  Our focus, our agreed task for this workshop is NOT therapy for the members or to criticise others.  OUR AGREED TASK IS TO OFFER TEACHING AND LEARNING RELATED TO DIVERSITY WITHIN CONTEMPORARY RELATIONSHIPS. 

To this end, our Certificate in Diversity within Contemporary Relationships welcomes and needs people to be courageous, and examine prejudice with tolerance and a minimum of defensiveness.  We need our workshops to be safe spaces, where participants can be vulnerable and supported if they make mistakes, as we all do.   We would like to remind you that we work within UK law and ethics (Gender Recognition, Equalities Act, MOU and Race) and will not tolerate non-compliance in any way.   We wholeheartedly support people courageously stepping forward, and anyone who is critical of this will not be welcome on this training and may be asked to leave.

DO I NEED TO ATTEND THEM ALL?
Each module may be taken is a stand-alone workshop, or can be taken as part of the certificate series. The modules may be taken in any sequence, and over any period of time.  

WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST WAY TO DO THIS
Each workshop has an Extra Early Booking Discount if you book more than 2 months before the course, an Early Booking Discount if you book between 1 and 2 months before the course, and the Full Price which is for bookings within the last month.  So planning ahead is the cheapest way to do the four workshops.

DO I GET A CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE AFTER EACH WORKSHOP?
Yes.  At the end of each module participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
