2. The nature of I Matter Relationship Health Training and Coaching Services

2.1 The I Matter Learning Journey offers an online supported and coach led learning journey process.  We work with organisations and teams, and with individual professionals and non-professionals in parallel.  I Matter Training is not a therapy or a treatment or a substitute for other medical or professional services.

2.2 The I Matter Framework was drawn together as an integration of well-established evidence by Dr Cathy Betoin, an experienced clinical psychologist and teacher and is intended to help you to help your child in home work or community setting.  

2.3 Professionals and non-professionals take part in I Matter training for a variety of reasons and with a variety of starting points.  These include Strengthening Relationship Health, Building Foundations for Recovery of Relationship Health, Preparation for Relationship Health and General Education and CPD in Relationnship Health We endeavour to assist you in assuring that there is a fit between these services and your needs at the outset of any agreement to work together.

2.4 There are three parts to every I Matter Learning Journey.  These involve i) establishing your starting points ii) learning the ideas and iii) putting the ideas into practice over time

2.5 Dr Cathy Betoin, is an experienced relationship health practitioner. She trained in clinical psychology and as a teacher. In her professional practice her work is informed by an Adult Child Well-Being 'I Matter' approach. She is actively involved in training others.  Cathy Betoin carries full professional insurance. She provides all I Matter Course and related psychological consultations through I Matter Training Ltd.

2.6 The I Matter free and paid course materials were developed strictly for informational purposes and should not be considered medical, behavioral, legal, or therapeutic advice. Testimonials herein are unpaid and unsolicited and non-representative of all participants. Experiences of those who have provided testimonials do not guarantee future results. None of the testimonials included within the I Matter Materials are from current individual clients. 

2.7 The delivery of I Matter Training online is a new project and is still in a trial period. As such some of our policies and procedures and resources are still being developed and refined. As an approach it is therefore a new approach and neither accepted nor rejected by any professional body to which Cathy is associated.  If you do not wish to have records kept online and/or do not wish to take part during a trial period, then do not purchase our programme or use our services.  

2.8 Production standards:  Because this product has involved finding a way forward in a complex field, please be aware that to date this project has been developed and produced with minimal financial support and without any production team. Therefore the quality of the production is sometimes not of a standard that you may have anticipated or prefer.  If this is likely to bother you, we advise you do not use our services- or that you send a donation to support a revised version

3. Disclaimer about Scope of Course Content

3.1 The online training site is for informational purposes only.  We warrant to you that the I Matter Online Courses and Course materials and Consultations purchased from us are of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit to deliver the stated learning outcomes for which the course, resource or consultation is supplied. ​ Due to the nature of training and coaching, and the fact that your success is dependent on a number of factors over which we have no control, we aim to help you meet stated learning outcomes or contract objectives but Cathy Betoin, nor I Matter Training Ltd or Relationship Health Matters CIC do not guarantee any particular result. We may advise some general courses of action, but we are not party to all of the details in your situation so you remain responsible at all times for the decisions you choose to take regarding the welfare of yourself or your child.  

3.2 The content of I Matter Training can sometimes be experienced as being of a challenging nature and so users should always think carefully about whether they have the support in place to benefit from this training at the present time.  No one should be required to complete this training. 

3.3 Cathy will endeavour to ensure that all information or guidance that she provides is accurate and up-to-date and reserves the right to change and update content at any time but she or I Matter Training Ltd shall not be liable for any claims arising from such information being disputed, inaccurate or not up-to-date or otherwise, nor for any perceived 'lack of progress in adult or child.

3.4 Suitability of the Approach:  We are not an emergency support service and should you or other users need crisis support you are directed to crisis support services such as Young Minds Helpline.

3.5 For parents-carers, I Matter Training should be used only as a complement to other appropriate local services. Parents or professionals or young people should ensure that they have in place the recommended additional study support and supportive relationships.   In the early stages of  training participants usually complete a questionnaire to support thinking about what level of support is needed to help see best results with a specific child or issue.   I Matter Training never offers any quick fixes.  To see positive results in a family, work or community setting you will generally need to commit to a longer term learning approach.

3.6 Professional practice: We do not provide core professional training.  I Matter offers CPD continuing professional development training in a licensed approach or to those with core training in a variety of disciplines in education, health and social care. 

3.7 Structure of Training:  I Matter Training is structured to provide a stepped approach for individuals (6 levels:  1-3 for professionals and non-professionas and 4-6 for professionals only)  and organisations (4 levels).  In the early stages of training you agree not to misrepresent the status of your training stage.  In the early stages you can describe yourself as I Matter Aware or I Matter Informed.  Professionals first become I Matter informed and then can train to become a licensed Link or Lead part of our delivery team.

3.8  Any professional using the approach or our resources should be guided by their own professional standards first and should never disregard their own agreed policies or practices for example around safeguarding due to something learned here. You can read our own 

safeguarding policy here

3.9 Licensed Link or Lead Professionals: If you become approved to work with us as a trainee or approved link or lead professional you agree to ensure that you have the appropriate insurances in place and agree to work in a manner that is lawful and in accordance with professional guidelines.

3.10  I Matter Training Ltd and Relationship Health Matters CIC provide some additional services that complement our educational services but these are offered by an additional explicit contract.  Clients receiving additional services will have a client record in Pragmatic Tracker or in the clinical records of a licensed partner practitioner and host organisation.
