Hi & welcome to Silkysteps

Unit 401 K4M759 - The importance of respecting professional boundaries and how to do so.

What are professional boundaries ?
Why is it importance to repsect them ?
How to show respect for them.

Appreciating that there are boundaries in existance in any organisation is a whole way towards respecting them & working together efficiently !!

The importance of respecting boundaries in essence proves you appreciate that there may be limitations / set procedures in place that will govern and guide any eventualities ~ that effectively opens the doorway to a working relationship ideal for solving issues and finding solutions.

How to respect boundaries - Patience & politeness (amongst others), if time & interest allows find out how things work, if you can be involved/experience a set of actions that are similar to your own requirement .. there will be a healthy regard & respect for everything that needs to be done to accomplish the task.

Protocol can be important .. how to do things, how things are expected to be done and being professional when things don't do as they are supposed to .. Reassurance that someone has safety nets & boundaries in place that help to protect people and business !!

Other scenario boundaries to explore could be

' We have never done it that way before ' ...
' Haven't heard of that before' ...
' Who do I ask about that '
' Where do we go to find out '

An agency without boundaries may say...
' This is how it works and this is what will happen .... trouble with that is something someday may happen to throw a proverbial spanner in the works .. and whilst the problem is being sorted & hopefully overcome everyone concerned will probably of learnt a new respect for boundaries !!

More business like boundaries could include
Professionalism, history &/of working relationships, qualifications, personality, - inter agency cooperation - networks & coordination - agency competition and maybe contention over assumed responsibilities.

Financial boundaries may also be a consideration.

Going 'over heads .. stepping on toes and inappropriate decision making is the opposite end to all of this :muted: !!

Possible Logistical Boundaries
Finance again - the element of time - number of people involved - type of agencies involved - Demographic & geographics - delivery.

Boundaries that appear will depend on the job in hand .. but personal conduct and a courteous approach as part of the projects lead will go a long way to building a good beginning !!

A few interesting links

Professional Boundaries a statement of it in practice from The British Psychological Society.
Business ettiquette - Florida based training website but has a good 'Oops introduction !!
Excellent definition of 'Setting Healthy workplace Boundaries' from ucsfhr.ucsf.edu

I'm sure other members will be along with more suggestions and fingers crossed correct any of mine lol

aww thanks .. there is an absolutely fab bunch of people on here .

About K4M759, I was thinking more about this last night .. and how it can be made more practical ..

Do colleges use role play scenarios to help look at the possible boundaries in place ?

Something as (seemingly) simple as making an appointment at the dentist and looking at what boundaries could spring up to prevent that from happening ?

From the view point made in my first post this scenario would ask what boundaries are already in place to ensure you make a successful appointment .. possibly not so easy to write about !? It's always good to see the nitty gritty as to what happened to put those boundaries in there in the first place .. that's where the respect for them kicks in (possibly/usually) lol
