Safety Precautions during the Covid-19 Pandemic - Sanctuary Therapy

 

As long as Covid-19 remains an active public health threat, Sanctuary Therapy will be taking some simple precautions to provide protection during face-to-face work.

 

My commitment to my clients:

 

• If I begin to feel unwell or am displaying any symptoms, I will inform you immediately and either rearrange your appointment or offer an online session instead.

 

• I will follow all regulatory requirements relating to social distancing, maintaining a minimum of two meters at all times.

 

• I will take my temperature and wash my hands upon arrival at work and will wash and sanitise hands between each session.

 

• I will wear a face shield for all sessions to protect myself and my clients.

 

• I will open the door to the therapy room for you at the beginning and end of the session. I will also offer you hand sanitiser at the door.

 

• Where possible and if confidentiality allows, I will keep a window open during the session. I will also ‘air out’ the therapy room during sessions.

 

• I will not be providing any water or tissues so please bring your own.

 

My requirements for clients:

 

• If you are feeling unwell or are displaying any symptoms, please do inform me straight away. I will either rearrange your appointment or move your session to an online appointment.

 

• Clients must wear a face covering at all times in the building, this can be removed only when in the room.

 

• Each client must use hand sanitiser upon entry of the building and therapy room.

 

• All clients must arrive as close to their time as possible, to reduce people in the building at any one time.

 

• For your safety, please use your own toilet facilities at home before leaving for the session if possible.

 

• Compliance with all regulatory requirements relating to social distancing by maintaining a minimum of one-meter distance from the therapist at all times.
