  3. Upholding the standards of mutual respect, compassion and safety.
  4. Being honest about my scope and referring when appropriate.
  5. Remaining open to questions, to being wrong, and to my own growth.

#FGKIA consent

what is consent

As defined by the Consent Awareness Network, consent is a special type of agreement, made by someone with capacity.

They use the hashtag FGKIA:

  • Freely Given: that you consent without coercion, pressure or bullying
  • Knowledgeable: that you understand what it is that you are agreeing to
  • Informed: that you have been given the facts, not lies or misrepresentation
  • Agreement: that you say “yes” on this basis
This applies to any situation, including accepting spiritual guidance, having a reading of any kind, joining a coaching programme, and more. Whilst this does not stand in law, it forms a moral basis for offering these services.
