About Membership
Who can become a member?
Anyone who has facilitated or been a participant on an IDHP Diploma is automatically a member, facilitators who share our values may also be invited to attend if they wish to find out more about our way of working or are considering having their courses validated by the IDHP at a later stage.
Members are usually those who have delivered or are currently delivering IDHP Diplomas or accredited IDHP programmes or who have served the interests of the IDHP and its mission in other substantial ways.
What is it they will become a member of?
They will become a member of a humanistic body that exists to spread, support and validate humanistic informed facilitation in educational, managerial, health, community and coaching settings, whose membership meet regularly to both receive and provide individual, course and IDHP community supervision, whose core members deliver or have delivered a wide range of courses, workshops, consultancies and coaching
How do they become a member?
There are 2 main routes, i) they automatically qualify for membership by being a IDHP graduate or current participant, ii) by approaching an existing member who is willing to introduce them to the committee. The committee may be willing at a subsequent meeting to vote them in and invite them to future meetings for a trial period, after which if mutually agreeable they will pay the £200 yearly meetings fee.
Members act as IDHP culture carriers who remind members of our key values, procedures and humanistic ethics, they also help to grandparent the organisation by attending to its key functions and putting into action its decisions.
When do they stop being a member?
They stop when they choose to leave, are deemed by the committee to be breaking its code of conduct and ethics, or when they have missed without prior notification 3 consecutive IDHP Meetings.
