All coaching provision is supported by a Framework which provides governance and clear processes and guidance on how coaching is accessed and evaluated.

The presumption is that all potential coaching clients are creative, resourceful and whole, and that sponsors, clients, organisational coaching leads and coaches operate within a clear, ethical and future-focused environment, within the overall framework of the psychological as well as legally binding contract of employer and employee(s).
