Level 3: Living I Matter Deep Dive

What this is

This is an advanced learning programme that deepens your understanding of the I Matter Framework and supports you to apply it in real-life situations.

It focuses on moving from understanding the ideas → to using them confidently in practice.

You will explore how to make sense of complex relationship situations and how to develop your thinking over time as a practitioner or informed parent/carer.

Who this is for

This course is for people who are ready to commit to deeper learning and application.

It is suitable for:

• professionals in education, health, and community roles
• parents and carers with ongoing learning commitment
• practitioners developing relationship health-informed practice

This programme is for you if you:

• want to keep developing your understanding in a structured way
• are ready to apply ideas in real situations, not just learn theory
• want to reflect on and improve your own practice over time
• value learning within a community of practice
• are willing to invest time in reflection and personal development

Access is by application because this is an extended learning pathway.

• additional key ideas in the I Matter Framework (24+ extended concepts)
• how to apply assessment thinking in real-life situations
• how to understand development, stress, and relational patterns over time

By the end of this programme you will be able to:

Certificate information

Certificates are available on completion of this extended learning course, with separate certificates for self-help and supported learning.

They recognise that you have engaged with the learning materials and begun exploring ideas about relationship health and the I Matter approach.

All certificates are based on learner self-confirmation of completion and reflection, and are not clinical, therapeutic, or professional qualifications.

We encourage participants to refresh their learning every two years, as roles, relationships, and family needs naturally change over time.

Next step

This programme supports progression toward:

• advanced practice roles (e.g. CYP Mentor pathways)
• deeper integration of relationship health thinking into your role
