BOUNDARIES POLICY

 

RESPECTING BOUNDARIES IS ESSENTIAL IF EVERYONE
IS TO KNOW THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES

 

​

Aims of our policy.

​

Whenever an organisation, or an individual has an unclear set of boundaries, it also becomes unclear what their responsibilities are.  This problem then grows because it means that everyone they interact with also has unclear boundaries and responsibilities, and this leads to chaos.  An example of this is in business when you have large projects involving many contractors, if the boundaries of each are not exactly defined, it can cause great difficulties for the project, extra expense, stress, and conflict.

 

We believe there are many boundaries in government, and in all of life that are not clearly defined, and as a result many problems are caused.  There is much confusion about the boundaries between the government and the people of Britain, it is very unclear what the governments responsibilities are, and what they are not, and quite often the government becomes drawn into all manner of public events?  Another example of this is current foreign policy, Britain is not an empire anymore, we directly control no country other than our own.  If we have no control of other countries, we have no responsibility for them, yet many people feel we have responsibilities to many if not all countries around the world, this creates confusion and unclear foreign policy.  Why should we seek to influence countries which do not wish to be governed by us, which we do not have any control over, and we do not have any responsibility for? 

 

A common and ironic problem is that boundaries are sometimes too large, and people believe they have more responsibility than actually is correct for their role.  Lack of clear boundaries causes endless problems throughout every level of society, right down to individual boundaries.

​

Our policy is to empower all people and all organisations with clear and correct boundaries, so that everyone knows exactly what their responsibilities are, and can concentrate on fulfilling them properly, without being distracted by things that are not of their responsibility.  In this way everyone is fully empowered to do what they need to do, to the best of their ability, with the minimum of stress.  This starts with the government, proceeds through all organisations such as public services, institutions, and businesses, and finishes with individuals.

​

The key concept of boundaries is that everyone and everything is only responsible for itself.  Being responsible for yourself, means being responsible for everything you decide to do, and being clear you are not responsible for what others choose to do.  If we all do this, everything would be taken care of correctly.  From this perspective, every problem we have in the world can be traced back to people either not taking full care and responsibility of themselves, or becoming involved in other peoples business that is not their responsibility.  An example of this is when parents try to influence children into doing jobs they do not want to do, this is not the responsibility of the parent to decide, it is the responsibility of the child to decide freely for themselves, and influence or force from the parents, will always lead to problems.

​

We believe understanding boundaries is an essential component of education, and all of our policies have this knowledge and intention integrated into them.  See our supporting policies below.
