Assessment is reflective and practice-focused. Learners may be asked to complete a reflective journal, short knowledge check or applied exercise. The purpose is to consolidate learning and confirm that workshop content can be used safely, ethically and within the learner's role.

H2: Professional Boundaries & Support

Participants should apply the material within their existing role, competence and organisational procedures. Where specialist clinical, safeguarding, medical, statutory or supervisory intervention is required, appropriate referral or consultation should be sought. Students should engage from a private environment and may contact the Registry Office for academic or administrative support.
