All discussions within coaching sessions are confidential.
No information will be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, unless required by law or where there is an identified risk of harm to yourself or others.
Sponsored coaching and confidentiality
Where an organisation sponsors coaching, confidentiality applies in the same way as for privately funded coaching.
The content of one-to-one coaching sessions between the coach and coachee is confidential and will not be shared with a sponsor, line manager or organisation without the coachee's knowledge and explicit agreement.
High-level coaching themes may be shared with the sponsor where agreed with the coachee, to establish a shared understanding of the purpose of the coaching and enable appropriate support between sessions. The coach and coachee will agree in advance what is shared and how it is communicated.
Confidentiality may only be broken where required by law or where there is a risk of serious harm.
