Our Ethics

People first

Care for people is at the heart of our work in health and education. We want everyone who studies with us or buys from us to feel welcome, respected and supported. That means being approachable, providing clear information and treating people fairly. From answering an initial enquiry to helping with a course or explaining our refund policy, we aim to offer thoughtful, personal service. We listen to feedback and use it to improve what we do.

A lighter footprint

We care about the environmental impact of running the School, from the energy we use to the materials we buy and the journeys we make. We have reviewed our consumption across heating, electricity, transport and paper to identify where we can reduce it. That work has informed changes to our everyday routines and conversations with suppliers about their products and services. Our approach is practical: use less, make considered choices and look for further improvements. Reducing our footprint takes ongoing attention, and we recognise there is always more we can do.

Thoughtful paper choices

Printed course materials remain an important part of learning for many of our students, so we take care over the paper we use. Our stationery, marketing materials and home study course manuals are printed on recycled paper. The paper used for our manuals is made from 100% post-consumer waste and processed without chlorine bleaching. When buying other paper products, we choose recycled options or suppliers who can demonstrate responsible forest management. We aim to balance clear, durable learning materials with careful use of resources, considering both where paper comes from and what happens to it afterwards.

Reduce, reuse, recycle

We make reducing waste part of our everyday routine. We reuse materials where we can and sort waste for recycling. Anything that cannot be collected through our usual service is taken to a recycling centre where suitable facilities are available. Small, consistent habits help us make better use of resources.

Switch off, save energy

At the end of the working day, we switch off lights and electrical equipment wherever possible, rather than leaving them on standby. It is a simple habit that helps avoid unnecessary energy use. We take a moment to check what needs to stay running and what can be turned off, then switch things back on when they are needed. Looking after resources often comes down to ordinary decisions, repeated every day.

Warmth without waste

We aim to keep our working spaces comfortable while using heating thoughtfully. Wearing an extra layer can help on cooler days, alongside sensible heating settings and switching the heating off when rooms are not in use. The aim is to reduce unnecessary energy use while looking after the people who work here. We want our environmental choices to be practical, considerate and sustainable throughout the year.

Energy from the sun

Solar panels help supply our electricity from a renewable source, reducing the amount we need from the grid. Our system was installed by Gloucestershire-based Greenshop Solar. Alongside generating solar power, we use energy-efficient lighting and pay attention to how much electricity we consume. Using cleaner energy and using less energy go hand in hand.

A connected community

We believe a strong learning community grows through sharing knowledge and working together. We contribute to shared projects, educational initiatives and public communication. It is one way we support the wider community of students, teachers and practitioners beyond our own courses. 

Charitable connections

We support organisations working in homeopathy education, research and community care, including Homeopathy for Health in Africa, the Homeopathy Research Institute, Homeopathy Action Trust, the Travelling Homoeopaths Collective and the National Center for Homeopathy. We also share educational knowledge with HEPA in Ghana and collaborate with Homeopathy UK on resources, events and charitable support. These relationships take different forms, reflecting each organisation’s work.

Accessible learning

People come to us with different experiences, responsibilities and ways of learning. We want to make studying feel welcoming and manageable, whether you are returning to education, balancing a course with work and family, or have particular learning needs. We encourage you to talk with us about your circumstances so we can explore the support available and help you find a suitable way forward.

Responsible education

We believe education should encourage curiosity, careful thinking and sound judgement. Learning to be a natural health practitioner includes understanding the responsibilities that come with practice: communicating honestly, respecting confidentiality and recognising the limits of your knowledge and skills. We encourage students to question, reflect and seek guidance, and to recognise when someone needs medical assessment or other professional care. Respect for each person’s choices and wellbeing underpins this approach.
