Contract for email & phone communication
This contract gains the client’s informed consent to email, text and phone contact as well as how homework tasks and questionnaires will be administered. The contract is the same for online and face to face clients as the tasks that must be accomplished are similar. However, it is especially important to clarify these details with online clients given this is the sole means of communication and the risks therefore greater.
Price: £15
Who is it for?
- For face to face clients
- For online clients
When is this completed?
At the end of the assessment phase and when we are ready to start therapy. At this stage I set clients up with a free encrypted email account and share the Email and Phone Contract.
What does it contain?
This contract comprises an email template which outlines how we will communicate with one another electronically and the platforms we will use to do so. It describes how I will set them up with a free encrypted anonymous email account and why that is important. Finally it asks for their consent to be contacted in the ways outlined.
Headings are:
- Introducing the encrypted anonymous email account set up for them and why I do that
- The platform used to administer questionnaires
- Phone and text message contact
- Final disclaimer
What format does the document come in?
- Microsoft Word Template: Editable and unbranded so you can add your own branding
