Where ordered to by a Court of Law.
I understand that where the client is under 18 years old, parents/guardians herein consent to the therapeutic process and verbal feedback about the child’s progress will be made to the parent/guardian at agreed intervals.
I understand that this service does not issue reports.
I understand that basic notes will be kept.
I understand that appointments will be pre-arranged. Where possible I will inform the service of cancellations at least five working days before the scheduled appointment. I understand that a full fee will apply if an appointment is not attended and has not been cancelled.
