Frequently Asked Questions
IS WHAT I SAY CONFIDENTIAL?
-
You should expect confidentiality. We will only share anything you say to us if we are worried that you are going to imminently harm yourself or someone else, or if you disclose having caused serious harm to someone else which has not been fully investigated
-
We will discuss this with you and try to be transparent about any actions we take, but protecting someone from imminent harm would always take priority
-
Prior to your sessions with us we will provide a comprehensive confidentiality agreement for you to read and we will check you understand the limits we have.
DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH ADULTS?
-
We have a Transitions Programme for people aged 16-21
