calendar year.
8.
Who we might share personal information with
We hold information about each of our clients and the therapy they receive in confidence. This means that we will not normally share your/your child’s
personal information with anyone else. However, there are exceptions to this when there may be need for liaison with other parties:
If you/your child are/is referred by a health insurance provider, or otherwise claiming through a health insurance policy to fund therapy, then we will share
appointment schedules with that organisation for the purposes of billing. We may also share information with that organisation to provide treatment updates.
If you would like us to share information about your/your child’s treatment with outside organisations that are directly involved in your/your child’s care/case,
for instance, your GP or psychiatrist, or your child’s school, we will require your written consent. We will tell you with whom we would discuss your/your
child’s care, and what details we would share with them.
In exceptional circumstances, we might need to share personal information with relevant authorities:
When there is need-to-know information for another health provider, such as your GP.
When disclosure is in the public interest, to prevent a miscarriage of justice or where there is a legal duty, for example a Court Order.
When the information concerns risk of harm to the client, or risk of harm to another adult or a child. We will discuss such a proposed disclosure with you
unless we believe that to do so could increase the level of risk to you or to someone else.
