Accountability Partner Programme

Holding space
is a discipline.

We are looking for people who have done their own belief work — and are ready to hold that same rigour for someone else.

What this role requires

Not everyone who has done the work
is ready to hold it for someone else.

01
Genuine personal work

You have worked on your own self-limiting beliefs — not just read about them. You know where your patterns live. You are still working.

02
The capacity to listen

You can hold a conversation for 30 minutes without redirecting it toward yourself. You know the difference between asking a question and steering someone toward your answer.

03
Honesty about your limits

You know the belief domains and patterns that would be too close to hold safely for someone else right now. You can say so without defensiveness.

04
A private, reliable space

Sessions happen in confidence. You have somewhere quiet, private and technically reliable to conduct them — consistently, not occasionally.

The accreditation journey

Four stages.
One honest standard.

Stage one

Application

A personal application — not a CV. We want to understand your belief work, your relational capacity, and your honesty about your limitations. Read by a person. Responded to within 5 working days.

Stage two

Before you apply

Please read the full governance pack — especially the Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policy — before completing your application. These sections are accessible from the sidebar.

Disclosure sectionsSections A8 (criminal record) and A9 (mental health history) are part of your application. Both are stored encrypted and are accessible only if a safeguarding concern arises. A disclosure does not disqualify you — but we need your honesty.

Application form

Your application

A1 — Personal details
Progress saved automatically
A2 — Eligibility
A3 — Your belief profile
Your belief profile is the foundation of your effectiveness as a partner. We need to understand where you are with your own work — not where you feel you should be.
A4 — Relational capacity
These questions assess your ability to hold space for another person without taking over their process.
A5 — Practical requirements
A6 — Conflict of interest
A7 — Emergency contact
This contact is for your wellbeing — not your participant's. If a difficult session affects you and we need to reach someone on your behalf, this is who we call.
A8 — Disclosure: criminal record
Confidentiality notice
This information is stored encrypted and is accessible only if a safeguarding concern arises. It is never shared with your participant, other partners, or any third party except where legally required. A criminal record does not automatically disqualify you.
A9 — Disclosure: mental health history
Confidentiality notice
The same protections apply here as in A8. This is stored encrypted and accessed only if a safeguarding concern arises. It is never shared with your participant. Having a mental health history — including a diagnosis, period of treatment, or ongoing condition — does not disqualify you. Many of our most effective partners have lived experience of exactly this.
A10 — Supervision and monitoring consent
All partners are supervised in the first 30 daysRegardless of your background, experience, or disclosure status — all accountability partners complete a supervised first 30 days. Supervision is provided by an assigned programme supervisor. It is a quality standard and a support structure, not a punitive measure.
A11 — Self-assessment
Rate yourself honestly. 1 = still developing. 5 = genuinely strong. There is no minimum score — this informs your supervision focus.
A12 — Declaration and signature
Please read each declaration carefully before checkingBy submitting this application you confirm that all statements below are true and that you have read and agree to abide by the Partner Code of Conduct.

Governance · Code of Conduct

Code of conduct

This is not a legal document written to protect the organisation. It is an honest statement of what this work requires — and what the people who trust you with their belief work deserve.

Part 1 — Scope and nature of the role

1

Peer accountability only

You are not a therapist, counsellor, coach, or mental health professional. Your role is to listen, witness, hold space, and hold the person to what they said they wanted.

2

No treatment, diagnosis or advice

You do not diagnose, treat, or provide clinical guidance. When you catch yourself wanting to advise, ask a question instead.

3

The relationship is bounded

Your relationship exists within the programme — not extended to personal friendship, social media, professional collaboration, or any romantic or financial relationship during or within 6 months of an active partnership without declaring it to the programme first.

Part 2 — Confidentiality

4

Sessions are confidential

What your participant shares stays between you. No discussion with friends, family, colleagues, or other partners — even in anonymised form.

5

Social media prohibition

You must not post about sessions in any public forum, even anonymised. The accumulation of small details can identify a person.

6

Mandatory reporting — the exception

Confidentiality does not apply when a participant discloses active suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or an immediate risk to safety. You are required to escalate. See the Safeguarding section.

Parts 3–5 — Conduct, practice, breaches

  • Show up when you said you would. Three unexcused absences in 6 months triggers a supervision review.
  • No unsolicited contact between sessions. Do not initiate contact outside scheduled sessions.
  • Self-disclosure is permitted, not primary. Redirect if you've been speaking about yourself for several minutes.
  • Complete a session note for every session within 24 hours.
  • Sessions in a private space. No recording without written consent.
  • Continue your own belief work. Partners who stop working on their patterns stop being effective for others.
  • Know when you are out of your depth. Refer — don't rescue.
Gross breach — immediate permanent removalDisclosure of participant identity, sexual or romantic conduct, failure to report a safeguarding concern, or misleading a participant about your qualifications.

Your commitment

By proceeding with your application, you confirm you have read this Code of Conduct in full and commit to upholding it.

Governance · Renewal

6-Month renewal process

Your renewal statusYou are not yet accredited. This section will activate when you become an accredited partner. You can read through the process now to understand what renewal involves.

Renewal timeline

  • 6 weeks before renewal date: Reminder sent. Renewal portal opens.
  • 3 weeks before: Second reminder. Listing marked "renewal pending."
  • Renewal due date: Must be submitted. Miss the window → listing automatically suspended.
  • Within 5 days of submission: Programme team reviews. Outcome communicated.

What renewal involves

  • Re-reading and recommitting to the Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policy
  • A practice reflection — one specific partnership, what worked, what was hard, what you learned about yourself
  • Updated disclosure (only if circumstances have changed)
  • A support needs check — what do you need going into the next 6 months?
  • Updated profile and availability
Voluntary suspensionYou can pause without losing your accreditation. Max 12 months. To resume: complete a shortened renewal (Parts 1 and 2 only). Email [email protected] to apply.
Cumulative rating floorIf your rolling 6-month average drops below 3.5/5, your listing is paused and you receive an invitation to a supervision conversation. This is diagnostic, not disciplinary — the aim is to understand what is happening and whether it can be resolved.

Support · Safeguarding

Safeguarding policy

Mandatory reading — read before your first sessionIf you are ever unsure whether something requires escalation, escalate. You cannot over-report a concern. What you can get wrong is not reporting.

Immediate escalation triggers

Stop the session and follow the protocol below if a participant discloses any of the following:

  • Active suicidal ideation — expressed intent or plan to end their life
  • Active self-harm — current or very recent
  • Abuse or neglect of a child — by themselves, a partner, or any third party
  • Abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult
  • Domestic abuse — as victim or perpetrator, current or recent
  • A credible, specific threat to harm another person
  • A medical emergency during or immediately following the session

What to say

Suggested script — use your own words"What you've shared is important and I'm glad you told me. This is beyond what I'm able to hold as a peer partner — not because it doesn't matter, but because it matters enough to need someone properly qualified. I'm going to give you some numbers you can contact right now. Can you stay on the call with me while I do that?"

After the session — your obligations

  • Complete your session note immediately — mark the risk flag YES
  • Contact your assigned programme supervisor within 2 hours
  • Email [email protected] — do not include the participant's full name in the subject line
  • Do not contact the participant again until your supervisor advises
  • Document everything: what was said, when, by whom, and what you did

Support · Complaints

Complaints & grievance procedure

Who can raise a complaint

Any participant, partner, or person with a legitimate interest in the conduct of the programme.

Four-stage process

1

Informal

Raise the concern directly with your partner or the programme team at [email protected]. Many concerns resolve here. Raise within 14 days of the incident.

2

Formal complaint

Email [email protected] with your name, the nature of the complaint, dates and details, and any supporting evidence. Acknowledgement within 3 working days.

3

Investigation

Programme director reviews, may contact parties involved, and issues a written outcome within 21 working days.

4

Appeal

If unsatisfied, appeal in writing within 14 days. A panel of at least two people (not involved in the original decision) reviews. Outcome within 14 working days of appeal.

ProtectionsComplainants who raise concerns in good faith are protected from retaliation. A complainant's identity is protected to the greatest extent possible during investigation. Vexatious complaints may themselves result in disciplinary action.

Support · Partner Wellbeing

Partner wellbeing

The programme cannot deliver good outcomes for participants if partners are not well. Your wellbeing is structural, not supplementary.

What the programme provides

  • A named supervisor contact during the supervised first 30 days
  • Access to a supervision conversation at any time — email [email protected]
  • A monthly optional group check-in for accredited partners
  • A private partner forum for peer support and practice sharing
  • A clear, no-blame process for raising your own concerns about the programme
Recommended limitsNo more than 3 active partnerships simultaneously. At minimum, one week between the end of one 30-day partnership and the start of another. Use voluntary suspension if you need to step back without losing your accreditation.

A quick wellbeing check-in

This is for you — not assessed or stored beyond this session.

If anything here prompts a concern, email your supervisor: [email protected]
