CPD Themes That Connect
Our evolving calendar includes workshops proven to be valuable across disciplines:
• Safeguarding & Child Protection
Informed by UK law and professional guidance, this course clarifies when to act, how to report, and how to maintain confidentiality and duty of care ethically and clearly.
• Professional Ethics & Boundaries
Explore real-life scenarios—dual relationships, consent, confidentiality—and learn to make professional judgement calls with confidence, aligned with recognised standards of practice.
• Neurodiversity-Informed Practice
Understand how ADHD, autism, PDA, and other neurodivergent experiences affect communication and regulation, enabling you to work inclusively and responsibly.
• Attachment, Emotional Regulation & Relational Safety
Essential across educational, clinical, and caregiving environments—learn how to foster trust, emotional safety, and healthy relationship dynamics.
• Reflective Practice & Peer Supervision
Structured spaces to reflect on your practice, counter burnout, embed learning, and build peer‑based professional support.
We also offer short sessions on topics such as domestic abuse awareness, working ethically with clients at risk, and supporting identity- and diversity-related needs.

Final Thought: Professional Growth with Heart
The Luminary Compass is not just about development—it’s about renewing your purpose. In a world of busy curricula, full caseloads, and complex demands, CPD can often feel like a chore. Our approach reminds you why you started: to help, to guide, to teach, to care—with integrity.

Join CPD that matters. Learn that lasts. Grow that ripples outward.
Final Thought: This Is Learning That Transforms
At The Luminary Compass, we’re not interested in surface-level training or temporary inspiration. We’re here for the real work of change—the kind that begins with understanding, deepens with reflection, and grows through connection.
Our public workshops and courses are designed for people who want to live, parent, relate, and lead with more emotional clarity and less overwhelm. We meet you where you are—with knowledge, humanity, and heart.
So come and join us. Come as a parent, a partner, a friend, a professional, or just someone who wants to understand life a little more. You won’t find perfection here, but you will find space. Space to ask, learn, feel, and grow.
This isn’t just information. It’s a transformation. And it starts in the room with you.
