Cancelling or changing sessions due to illness.

Illness: If your unwell please advise The Recovery OT and we can reschedule your appointment.(See policy)

COVID: The practitioner will complete a twice weekly lateral flow test. During peak Covid periods, this will be more frequent and  I may ask that all clients test before session attendance. However, generally I will attend masked or wearing a clear face shield and will just clarify that the household has no one present with COVID or COVID symptoms.

Safeguarding:

We are healthcare professionals, although we work directly for our clients there welfare is our primary concern, therefore any safeguarding concerns will be documented raised with the local authority responsible for our clients safety.

Smoking: Whilst The Recovery OT respects our clients right to choose to smoke or vape, we politely request smoking does not occur indoors one hour before the treatment is due to commence, as it it a smokers right to choose as it is a non smokers right not to attend smoky environments and we appreciate co-operation in this matter.

Intoxication: There is a strict policy regarding this, If there is evidence of intoxication via alcohol or drug abuse, sessions will be terminated and cost not refunded.

Abusive behaviour: Intended verbal or physical abuse will not be tolerated and sessions terminated with no refund. If a client has behaviour changes as a result of there condition, safety will be evaluated on an individual basis.
