These themes are not revised annually but every two years, to give you the chance to follow multiple themes.
2. Practical module: supervision/peer supervision. This module is identical for all our Confidential Adviser training courses. It makes no difference which theme you chose in the first module.
During this supervision/peer supervision, the following points will be covered:
- Experiences of confidential advisers from other companies and sectors.
- Strict peer supervision model with clear agreements on confidentiality and discretion.
- Content of the complaints, the successive steps and your attitude as a confidential adviser.
