Our Cohort Participant Charter




Peer Networks brings together diverse cohorts of business leaders so you can discuss your business challenges with your peers. 


The strength of Peer Networks derives from the breadth and depth of experience of its participants and their collective commitment to support each other. 


To maximise the value of the experience for yourself and others the

Peer Networks programme requires that each participant commit to:



  1. Attend every session, completing the full 18 hours of action learning 
  2. Respect the ground rules adopted by the group, and take note of the requirement for confidentiality
  3. Be respectful to the facilitator and other participants 
  4. Focus exclusively on the sessions whilst they are in progress and refrain from undertaking work or checking emails in the background
  5. Speak openly, honestly and be prepared to be challenged 
  6. Contribute within the action learning framework outlined by the facilitator
  7. Engage with the reflective nature of the action learning methodology completing the review notes after each session
  8. Take the action agreed during the session and share the learning with the group at the following session
  9. Complete all participant surveys as directed by your group facilitator or other programme representative
  10. Commit to receive a minimum of 3.5 hours of additional one-to-one support focused on your problem or actions arising from your group discussions
  11. Should they arise, flag conflicts of interest to the facilitator
