Prior to joining a group or 1-1 coaching programme you will be asked to enter into a coaching agreement that gives more details about confidentiality. The agreement explains that mums4achange coaches receive supervision and discuss their work with a supervisor and 3 other coaches for professional and development purposes. Both supervisior and coaches are bound by confidentiality and no identifying details are used.
