Facilitator Agreement
This Facilitator Agreement is part of our Expectations of Sisterhood. We require facilitators to sign this agreement during Own My Life CPD accredited training.
While some organisations use quality standards and others use centralised administrative systems to protect the quality of work being done, we instead seek to empower organisations, facilitators and women attending Own My Life courses to ensure the work they do is positive, constructive and healing. We do this through our Expectations of Sisterhood which you can read HERE.
Please use the green menu to read through the webpages related to our Expectations of Sisterhood. If you have any questions, please email us on info@ownmylifecourse.org.
