The services and links of our Web site

Our Web site gives information about the Foundation Course and related development activities. All information pertaining to taking the test and the return of the profile to you is confidential.

The Web site offers several ways for individuals to share ideas, communicate and meet. Both The Development Compass and Four Groups Ltd waive any responsibility for how individuals wish to share personal information, or how they choose to meet up and extend communication if this desire is expressed. Safety rules about meeting strangers are seen as wise and necessary.

We recognize the individual’s responsibility to exercise their own discernment about what is appropriate to share in the forum, on telephone calls, skype calls and in face to face meetings.
