Knowing Your Role: Professional Boundaries and Safeguarding in Group Exercise

Do you really know what adult safeguarding covers and where your responsibility begins and ends?  

 Are you confident you would know what to do if a concern arose or a participant made a disclosure, before, during or after your class? 

Creating a welcoming, supportive and inclusive environment is central to your role as an instructor. Yet for many, the grey areas around professional boundaries, duty of care and recognising vulnerable adults can feel daunting.  Knowing when to step in, how to document concerns and when to refer can make all the difference.

Join the EMD UK team during Adult Safeguarding Week for a practical, group fitness specific webinar designed to demystify safeguarding. Hosted by Sue Wilkie, Head of Workforce and with guest, EMD UK Safeguarding Lead and COO Shelley Meyern, this session cuts through the jargon to give you real world clarity on how safeguarding principles apply directly to studio, community and online class environments.

Whether you teach dance fitness, holistic disciplines, strength, or community-based group exercise, you will gain the clarity and tools to uphold your professional boundaries whilst keeping your participants and yourself protected.  

This webinar is eligible for 1 hour of informal CPD.
